Roasted Broccoli

Ingredients

  • 12 oz Frozen Broccoli Florets
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • Chili flakes

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Place the broccoli florets on the baking sheet. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread evenly on the baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Roast 15 to 22 minutes or until browned around the edges. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, if desired.

I love how the high heat transforms the texture; it's much more flavorful than steamed broccoli. This simple roasting style is a great contrast to the more complex vegetable preparations in Italian tradition, focusing purely on the ingredient's natural taste. It's a perfect, savory side dish!
