Ingredients
  

1 medium head of broccoli, cut into florets

1 can (15 oz) of white beans (cannellini or navy beans), drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Juice of 1 lemon

Cooked quinoa or brown rice, for serving (about 1 cup)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Broccoli: In a large mixing bowl, toss the broccoli florets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

      Roast the Broccoli: Spread the seasoned broccoli on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and slightly browned. Stir halfway through to ensure even roasting.

        Warm the Beans: While the broccoli is roasting, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the drained white beans and cook for about 5 minutes until warmed through. Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Stir gently to avoid breaking the beans.

          Prepare the Base: In a bowl, place a serving of cooked quinoa or brown rice as the base.

            Combine and Serve: Top the quinoa or rice with the roasted broccoli and warm white beans. Add crumbled feta cheese if using, and garnish with fresh parsley. Drizzle with additional lemon juice for brightness.

              Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your vibrant and satisfying bowl!
