Ingredients

  • 2 cups Broccoli florets cleaned and trimmed
  • ¼ cup chopped red onion
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup canola oil
  • 2 tablespoons plain flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 to 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry a head of broccoli. Separate and trim florets and put into a bowl. Chop onion and add to bowl with broccoli. Season with salt and pepper and toss in canola oil. Place in a single layer on a sheet pan and roast for about 15 minutes. Until brown and crispy.
  • In a heavy skillet or sauce pan, melt butter. Add in salt and pepper and then flour. Cook flour for about a minute and add in mustard and horseradish. Mix well and slowly drizzle in milk. Heat on medium to high heat until it boils and whisk until it reaches desired thickness.
  • Turn off heat and add cheese, and hot sauce if you like. Stir to melt cheese.. If sauce is too thick, thin with a teaspoon of water or so until is desired thickness. Serve on the side or right on top!
