Ingredients
- 1 bunch broccoli, separated (or chopped into pieces)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. If roasting whole broccoli pieces, first wash and rinse. Remove the last ½ inch of the stem, then peel to remove the tough, fibrous outer layer.
- Place broccoli onto a sheet tray (lined with foil for easier cleanup, if desired) and drizzle with the olive oil, paying special attention the florets so that they are evenly covered with a thin layer of oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Roast on the middle rack of the oven for about 45 minutes, or until a knife can easily be inserted into the stem. Turn the stalks over with the tongs halfway through so each side is evenly cooked. Watch it carefully towards the end, it can easily go from roasted to burned. Oven temps vary and not every oven will take exactly 45 minutes; you will learn what works for your oven.
- If roasting broccoli pieces, first wash and rinse. Remove the florets and cut them into smaller pieces.
- Peel the stem to remove the tough, fibrous outer layer, then chop the stem into 1-inch pieces.
- Place broccoli pieces in a mixing bowl and toss with the olive oil salt and pepper, then transfer to a baking sheet (lined with foil for easier cleanup, if desired).
- Roast for about 30 minutes, turning the florets with tongs halfway through cooking, till florets are tender and the crowns are crisp (tips should be browned, not blackened). Watch it carefully towards the end, it can easily go from roasted to burned. Oven temps vary and not every oven will take exactly 30 minutes; you will learn what works for your oven.
- Eat up. It's addictive, seriously.
Notes
- You will also need: Sheet tray, aluminum foil (optional), tongs, mixing bowl (if roasting pieces)
