Directions
Warm your oven to 475°F (245°C). In a small bowl, mix together some olive oil and minced garlic. Cut the broccoli into florets, making sure to leave a couple of inches of stem on each piece. Spread the broccoli out on a rimmed baking sheet, then drizzle the garlic oil over it. Give everything a good toss so the broccoli is nicely coated, and season with salt and pepper. Pop the tray in the oven and roast for about 7 to 9 minutes, turning the broccoli halfway through, until it’s tender and has some nice charred edges. Once it’s done, transfer the broccoli to a serving dish and drizzle with a splash of balsamic vinegar. Enjoy!
Serving Guide
Serve this as a tasty side alongside grilled chicken or fish. It also pairs well with pasta or quinoa bowls. For a light meal, add some toasted nuts or crumbled cheese on top.
Storage Instructions
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the broccoli crisp and flavorful. Avoid storing with wet ingredients to prevent sogginess.
