Roasted Broccoli

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of water to a rapid boil, then add a heaping tablespoon of salt.

Step 3

Add the broccoli florets and cook until crisp and tender (about 1-1 ½ minutes).

Step 4

Remove florets with a slotted spoon and plunge them immediately into ice water.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, toss the blanched broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.

Step 6

Spread the now blanched and seasoned broccoli onto the baking sheet and roast, without stirring, until the edges are crispy and the stems are tender (about 10 minutes).
