The Basics: Easy Roasted Broccoli

This is simple, straightforward roasted broccoli, that turns out crisp and caramelized and functions as an all-purpose side dish.

You'll need:

  • 2 broccoli crowns
  • 1/4 c olive oil
  • 1 Tbs salt
  • 1 tsp pepper

Preheat oven to 450 and grease and/or put foil on a baking sheet.

Chop up the crowns to your taste - the florets and stems are good but I usually cut off the really thick stem parts. And you can make them as large or small as you want.

Toss the chopped broccoli in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the broccoli onto the baking sheet and bake 20 minutes without mixing or flipping.

Serve alongside a main dish or eat on its own!

Mix it up:

  • Add crushed red pepper for a kick
  • Use half broccoli and half cauliflower - same recipe exactly!
