Garlic Roasted Broccoli

Ingredients

1 bunch broccoli, or bag of pre-cut broccoli

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cut off the broccoli florets and chop into small and medium pieces. Slice garlic into thin pieces.

Wash and let drain in a colander.

In a large bowl, coat the broccoli with half of the olive oil, garlic, pepper and salt. Toss with hands to fully cover the broccoli.

Repeat with the remaining half of ingredients, so everything is evenly coated. This is a basic recipe, so add any other flavoring you wish.

Place on baking sheet and put in oven for 12 minutes.

Toss with tongs and put back in oven for 15 minutes or until broccoli begins to singe and turn dark on the ends.

Serve as an appetizer or side dish to pizza, meat or fish, or bean dish
