A 2-in-1 recipe – roasted broccoli and how to use it in amazing veg-packed grilled cheeses to convince broccoli skeptics.

Method:

Preheat oven to 200C/gas 6. Toss the broccoli pieces in the oil and salt, then spread out on a baking tray and roast for 25-30 mins, until starting to darken in places and softened.

To make the sandwiches: spread a little butter on 4 slices of bread, top with 1 slice of the cheese, then add a handful of the roasted broccoli, another slice of cheese, and the final slice of bread.

Heat a large frying pan that can fit 2 sandwiches with ½ tbsp of the oil (or do it in 4 batches and use ¼ tbsp of the oil in a smaller pan), then add 2 of the sandwiches and press down with a spatula, letting it sizzle and brown for 1 minute. When it is nice and brown on the bottom, flip and repeat for the other side. Repeat with the other 2 sandwiches, adding the other ½ tbsp oil only if needed.

Serve warm with any remaining roasted broccoli on the side.
