Easy Cheesy Roasted Broccoli & Potatoes. This side goes great with pretty much everything, like my Air Fryer BBQ Chicken Thighs or Brie Grilled Cheese.
With this, you get golden-brown potatoes and tender broccoli covered in a blanket of melted cheddar cheese. I have to stop myself from eating the whole try for dinner.
Broccoli, potatoes, and cheese isn't just for soup. This iconic trio also makes a super tasty side. A little prep and a sheet pan go a long way.
