Oven Roasted Broccoli
Description
Why boil or microwave broccoli when you can roast it? Roasting the florets makes them crispy outside yet still tender, juicy and delicious.
Ingredients
1 1/2 lb. fresh broccoli from about 1 head, cut into medium florets*
3 T. olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 t. salt, or to taste
1/4 t. pepper, or to taste
2 T. freshly grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Toss the broccoli florets with the oil, garlic, salt, and pepper on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the broccoli in a single layer.
Roast in the oven until the broccoli edges are golden and lightly browned and the stems are crisp-tender, about 14-18 minutes.
Serve immediately, sprinkled with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
4 servings.
*The broccoli stems can be roasted as well, but be sure to use a vegetable peeler to remove the fibrous outer layer on the stems, or they will be too tough to chew.
