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

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Toss the broccoli florets with the oil, garlic, salt, and pepper on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the broccoli in a single layer.
3. Roast in the oven until the broccoli edges are golden and lightly browned and the stems are crisp-tender, about 14-18 minutes.
