This recipe serves four so depending on how big your crowd is, make sure to increase the ingredients. The secret to this recipe is the homemade tomato butter sauce.

To make the Roasted Broccoli Steaks with Tomato Butter, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 475 °F.
On a rimmed baking sheet, toss together 2 ounces torn into small pieces bread, 2 tablespoons oil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
Toast for 4 to 6 minutes until the bread is golden brown and crisp, stirring once halfway through. Remove from the oven and set aside. Reduce the oven temperature to 425 °F.
Place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven and leave to warm at 425 °F for about 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, toss together broccoli steaks, 2 cups cherry tomatoes, red onion wedges, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, and remaining ¼ cup oil.
Arrange the vegetables in a single layer on the preheated baking sheet. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes at 425°F until broccoli is tender and starts to char, flip broccoli and onion after 10 minutes. Once roasted, remove from the oven.
Transfer the tomatoes, onion, and ¼ cup vegetable stock to a blender.
Place the lid securely on the blender and remove the center piece to allow steam to escape. Cover the opening with a towel and process for about 30 second until smooth. Add in the remaining ¼ cup stock, 1 tablespoon at a time, to thin the sauce as needed.
With the motor running, gradually add 2 tablespoons butter, processing until the sauce is smooth and thick, about 20 seconds. Add in the remaining ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper and stir to mix.
To serve, spoon about ¼ cup tomato sauce onto each of the four plates. Top with broccoli steaks, tapenade, and toasted croutons. Enjoy!
