if there's any vegetable i actually like, it's broccoli. for all of my childhood life any time i ate broccoli it was either just steamed or boiled. on very rare occasions i'd eat it tempura style at Japanese restaurants and in those circumstances broccoli almost seemed like a treat. now i'm not trying to knock my parents for making the boring kind of broccoli, but i will say that they've been missing out and were also the cause of me missing out. within the last few years of my life i've discovered roasted broccoli. i'm talking tender yet charred crisp with sea salt and a hint of heat. it's so easy and it's practically the only way i make broccoli nowadays.
cut broccoli florets into bite size pieces and put in a ziplock bag. toss with olive oil, salt and red pepper flakes. transfer to a baking pan and roast in a 400 degree F oven for approx. 20 minutes. shuffle them around a bit and cook for another 5 min. or so.
i heart charred broccoli!
