Oven-roasting broccoli is not only easy, it comes out perfectly tender-crisp with lots of flavor.
Ingredients :
1 head broccoli about 4 cups florets
3 tablespoons olive oil
salt and black pepper to taste
shredded Parmesan cheese optional
Directions :
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Chop the broccoli into bite sized florets.
Place the broccoli florets on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and massage the oil into the broccoli to completely coat the florets.
Roast for 10 to 15 minutes or until broccoli is tender crisp. Larger florets will need closer to 15 minutes, smaller ones will need about 10 minutes.
Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and broil for 1 minute if desired.
