The Ultimate Veggie Delight

This broccoli and tomato bake is hearty enough for a cold winter day without being too heavy. The recipe was inspired by a dish from my favorite vegetarian cookbook. I eat it with rice and chicken for dinner or a piece of brown bread for lunch.

  1. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan, and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Cover, place over high heat, and bring water to a boil.

  3. While the broccoli is steaming, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in carrot, celery, salt, and pepper; continue cooking until vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.

  4. Add tomatoes and olives to the skillet; cook and stir over medium-high heat until sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Stir in maple syrup and season again with salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes.

  5. Pour sauce into the baking dish over broccoli, then evenly distribute goat cheese and Parmesan over top.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven until cheese begins to brown, about 20 minutes.
