Oven-roasted broccoli


I roast vegetables in the oven a lot. Usually I don't do broccoli, but I had wanted roasted brussels sprouts, and they were all out of those at the Big Y. So I got broccoli, and pretended it was Brussels sprouts. The result was surprisingly similar, green thing that tastes roasty. Yum. Anyway, if you're sick of doing broccoli in the same old ways of however you normally do it, here is an idea for you.

Chop up the broccoli into bite-sized pieces, and put it in a pile on a baking sheet. Drizzle with some oil - the stuff will soak up oil like that's its job, so be sparing. Then toss with your hands until each piece is reasonably well coated. Sprinkle some kosher salt on top, and bake at 400F for ~15-25 minutes - when it stops making crackling noises, its probably done, so take a look at it. Enjoy!
