Roasted Broccoli

Source: Inspired by http://www.sprinklesandsprouts.com.au/roasted-broccoli/ but i'll say it is a bit different.

Notes: This is our main go to veggie side. The kids all enjoy it, we make it in huge amounts, and frankly you can crowd the pan and have leftover roasted broccoli for days!

Serves: At least 4 but we typically get double that many servings

Ingredients: <the ingredients provided generally in the order they are used, including any prep>

• 3 heads broccoli. It depends on how big they are and how big your pan and oven are. Basically you want to fit them in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Olive Oil - about 2-4 Tbsp
• Salt and Pepper

Program: <list of steps>

1. Preheat oven to 425. You can go 400 if you want it less charred and more evenly cooked through or up to 450 if you want a real good char.
2. Cut off florets into bite size pieces
3. Cut stalks into planks no longer than 2 inches and no thicker then maybe a half inch. Its ok if they aren't the same size. Some pieces will be more thoroughly cooked. You'll have to play with this to get it the way you like.
4. Toss broccoli with oliver oil, salt, and pepper til evenly coated.
5. Cook it 18-24 mins til they are to your liking
6. You can stir them a bit half way through if you want, but i don't find it necessary.

Variations:

• You can toss some flavoring oil at the end or a balsamic vinegar. Soy sauce is good too.
• I've roasted these with some garlic or quartered or sliced onion.
• You can do something similar with Cauliflower
