Oven Roasted Broccoli

This is a very surprising and very savory dish. It combines the healthiness of the vegetable, but also gives it a crunchy (and unexpected) kick.

Oven Roasted Broccoli

Ingredients:
Fresh broccoli, cut into florets
Basting oil

If you don't have basting oil, you can definitely substitute it with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. I actually prefer using your own spices and herbs compared to the basting oil on this dish.


Preparation.

Preheat oven to 450°F. If you have a convection oven, this would be the best time to use it!
After washing and drying your broccoli florets, place them into a large bowl. Generously coat them with basting oil (or the olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper). Toss to coat. Place on a foil-lined roasting pan. Cook for about 25 minutes, stirring every 7 or 8 minutes. The broccoli should be slightly crisp (but not burnt) on the outside. The stalks of the florets should be tender.
