Roasted Broccoli with Garlic, Crushed Red Pepper, and Parmesan

1 broccoli

Tired of plain steamed broccoli?  Try it roasted!

The roasting process helps the natural sugars to caramelize.  Many vegetables are great candidates for roasting including cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, green beans, turnips, parsnips, asparagus, butternut squash, and more.

Directions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and spread 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over a large baking sheet (I use very clean hands to do this).  Chop a fresh head of broccoli into florets and spread on a single layer on the baking sheet.  Don’t waste the stalks, they are great roasted also.  Add a chopped clove of garlic, salt, crushed red pepper, and Parmesan cheese; toss to combine well.  Roast for about 15-20 minutes until tender and golden brown; stirring halfway.
