Roasted Broccoli Recipe

Break or cut the broccoli into bite-sized pieces, making sure they're not too small. Don't forget the stalks; they're good too, just peel them if the outer layer seems tough.

Peel the garlic clove and slice it thinly. Avoid slicing it too thin, as it will burn before the broccoli has a chance to heat through in the oven.

Drizzle with a little oil, just enough to very lightly coat everything. Toss with your hands directly in the pan to distribute the oil evenly.

Slide the pan into the oven for about 10 minutes. You're looking for the broccoli to be good and hot, and the garlic just starting to get some color. Give the pan a shake every couple of minutes to ensure even roasting and prevent the garlic from burning, which can turn bitter. The broccoli will still be firm after this time; if you prefer it softer, you'd typically steam or boil it.
