Ingredients:
- Fresh broccoli, 1-2 bunches (I use 2 bunches for my family of 6)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt to taste
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees
- Chop broccoli into florets, all roughly the same size
- Place florets in large baking dish or on a baking sheet
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil over broccoli and toss to coat
- Salt to taste
- Roast 15 minutes, toss gently, then roast another 5-10 minutes, or until edges of broccoli are crispy and brown
- Notes……the crispy is where it gets really, really good. Do not be afraid to let the broccoli roast until almost burned. Actually, a few burnt edges is just about perfect.
Yesterday I found myself with the final leftovers of a veggie tray that included broccoli and cauliflower. Usually I just eat these raw as I’m not a fan of their texture when steamed. I was putting some potatoes and carrots in the oven though and, remembering this post, I decided to add the broccoli and cauliflower to the pan. Wow! I loved the result! For once I actually enjoyed eating my broccoli;) I’ve shared the idea with everyone I know and they are all excited to try it too.
Thanks for sharing!
