1poundbroccoli, trimmed and cut into 1-inch and 1/2-inch stem slicesabout 3 medium stalks
3tablespoonsextra virgin olive oil, divided
1pintcherry or grape tomatoesabout 1 1/2 cups
1 1/2teaspoonshoney, divided
3cupscubed whole-grain crusty bread**
1tablespoonbalsamic vinegar
1/2teaspoonfreshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoonkosher salt
grated Parmesan cheese (or alternative) for garnish
Instructions
Place a large, rimmed baking sheet in the oven. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F with the pan inside.
Put the broccoli in a large bowl, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the oil. Toss to coat.
Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and spoon broccoli onto it, leaving some oil in the bottom of the bowl. Add the tomatoes to the same bowl, and toss to coat with the leftover oil. Toss the tomatoes with 1 teaspoon of honey, and scrape them onto the baking sheet with the broccoli.
Roast for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove the sheet from the oven, and add the bread cubes. Roast for 3 more minutes. The broccoli is ready when it appears slightly charred on the tips and is tender-crisp when poked with a fork.
Spoon the vegetable mixture onto a serving plate or into a large, flat bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil together with the vinegar, the remaining honey, and the pepper and salt. Pour over the salad, and toss gently. Sprinkle with cheese and oregano, if desired, and serve.
