The heat concentrates the flavors and caramelizes the natural sugars. A touch of olive oil gives a crispy, delicious finish. (Eating Well, Winter 2004) This is an easy and yummy alternative to steaming. Something about the oil and salt combination that makes this so good. Ingredients:
4 cups broccoli florets |
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil |
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste) |
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (or to taste) |
1 lemon, cut into 6 wedges (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven (or toaster oven) to 450 degrees.
2. Toss broccoli with oil, salt, and pepper.
3. Place on a large baking sheet (which is not air-insulated).
4. Roast until broccoli is tender and blackened on the bottom, 10-12 minutes.
5. Serve immediately, with lemon wedges.
