Roasted Cumin Butter Broccoli is the perfect side dish with hardly any prep time and dripping with flavor!

I am always looking for side dishes that don’t require a lot of prep time because after slaving away over the main course, the last thing I want to do is spend time on a side dish. Enter life-changing roasted broccoli! Whenever I am short on time, need a side dish, or simply craving roasted broccoli, I toss my broccoli with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper. Or sometimes I toss it in lemon and Parmesan, or my new favorite Cumin Butter – ssooooooo good.

Cumin butter is super simple to prepare yet packs an irresistible flavorful punch – you won’t be able to stop munching this broccoli! Simply melt your butter on the stove or in the microwave then mix in some ground cumin, chipotle powder, salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar. Toss your broccoli in the Cumin Butter then roast to desired tenderness and you have Roasted Cumin Butter Broccoli in less than 20 minutes!

You will be in awe at just how addictingly delicious broccoli can be!
