Roasted Garlic Broccoli is one of my most requested side dishes.

There is something about roasting vegetables that really brings out their flavors. I love the simplicity of this dish and the complexity of the the flavors, which is surprising given the minimal ingredients used.

And it is oh so easy too!!  It’s just a matter of dumping the broccoli florets in a gallon-size zip-top bag. Add the extra virgin olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes (if you are using it) to the bag. Seal the bag and give it a good shake. Spread out on a foil-lined baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes. And then DONE! Perfect, roasted broccoli goodness 🙂

    I roast asparagus all the time but I’ve never done broccoli! This looks so easy and delicious I’m going to have to try it!

    I probably need to knuckle down and use fresh broccoli. I’ve been trying to roast frozen broccoli and it just doesn’t come out very crisp. 🙁 It IS convenient though, since we always have the frozen around,

      Ya Jill…using fresh broccoli will help it come out crispier when roasting…it is worth the extra effort 😉
