Roasted Broccoli

I know you have seen me roast a couple different vegetables but tonight is a first for me, Roasted Broccoli! Roasting the broccoli retains the crunch of the vegetable while bringing out the natural sweetness.  Why I haven't done it before is a mystery to me and this is definitely how I will be cooking it from now on, once roasted it was still crisp but cooked, nutty and full of flavor.

Roasted Broccoli: Serves 3

1 Broccoli Bunch
1TB Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper

Slice the stalks of broccoli off the large stem and cut into equal size pieces. Toss with olive oil salt and pepper and roast on a cookie sheet at 400° for 20 minutes, flipping once half way through cooking.

  1. Have you ever tried grilled broccoli? I actually use broccolini, toss in garlic olive oil and grill on high to get char marks on it. Once plated I squeeze lemon juice, salt and pepper. So yummy.

  2. I have not! Sadly I had to give up my grill about 15 months ago when I moved into an apartment and grills are not allowed! I will have to give it a try when I get around one next! Thank you for the suggestion!
