It’s here! Cookbook week!
What’s cookbook week? It’s a week of celebrating my new cookbook, Inspiralized and Beyond, which publishes this Tuesday, May 1st!
How are we going to celebrate? With some great giveaways, new videos from the cookbook, recipe shares (like today!), and more! We’re starting with sharing a recipe from the new book! Let’s get into it…
MOST IMPORTANTLY, if you haven’t pre-ordered yet, you can do so on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Indie Bound, or iBooks, and then make sure to download your pre-order bonus packet, which includes the following:
- 3 weeks of meal plans (all recipes are from the new book!)

Now that we got that promo out of the way, let’s talk about one of my favorite recipes in the book, which does NOT have a photo in it, and which is why I’m sharing it on the blog today: to show you guys that you NEED to make it!
There are just so many amazing recipes in this book without photos, so when you leaf through your copy, don’t skip over the recipes without photos! You’ll be so pleasantly surprised! I also plan on cooking my way through the book with you all!
These broccoli slabs are insane. They have SO much flavor and are so filling (thanks to the hearty stems that are included in the ‘slab’.) If you’re vegan or dairy-free, you can omit the cheese and just use the marinara sauce (and maybe some vegan Parm or just a sprinkle of nutritional yeast!)
You can serve these as an appetizer, a side, or in a big bowl meal (like, with some chicken sausage and brown rice!) They’re just the best!
And remember, if you DO cook anything from the book, make sure to use hashtag #inspiralizedandbeyond so we can re-share our favorites on Instagram and the blog!
Thank you so so so much for your support of this book – there’s a lot of pressure on it to become another best-seller, so help make it happen for me by pre-ordering your copy today!

Nutritional Information & Recipe
Margherita Style Charred Broccoli Slabs
Ingredients
- 1 large head broccoli
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Fine sea salt and pepper
- 2 garlic cloves sliced
- 1 cup prepared tomato-basil sauce or marinara sauce
- 2/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup shredded fresh basil leaves
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Trim off and discard the dried, tough part of the broccoli stem (about ½ inch). Working from the stem end, slice the broccoli lengthwise into 4 slabs.
- Arrange the broccoli slabs in a single layer in a 9 × 13-inch baking dish. Drizzle with the olive oil, turning to coat, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Nestle the garlic slices among and under the broccoli slabs. Roast for 10 minutes. Flip and roast for 10 minutes more, until tender and browned.
- Top the broccoli with the tomato-basil sauce and the mozzarella. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbling, 5 to 8 minutes more.
- Immediately garnish with the Parmesan and basil. Serve warm.
