Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Place extra-virgin olive oil, garlic, chili powder and grill seasoning in the bottom of a large bowl.
- add the broccoli spears.
- Toss to coat broccoli evenly.
- transfer to a large nonstick baking sheet. Roast the broccoli until ends are crisp and brown and stalks are tender, 17 to 20 minutes.

AWESOME BROCCOLI MARINARA
This is a great quick version of an Italian traditional side dish in our family all the way from Italy. You can use fresh tomatoes and basil. However, as a mother of four, I opt for the quick method as I'm sure other parents of small ones can appreciate. The kids really love this dish too. Buon Appetito!

Tips:
- Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilted florets.
- Prepare broccoli properly: Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets and wash them thoroughly. You can steam, boil, or roast the broccoli, depending on your preference.
- Add flavor to broccoli: Broccoli has a mild flavor, so it's important to add flavor to it. You can do this by using herbs, spices, sauces, or marinades.
- Don't overcook broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp. Overcooked broccoli will become mushy and lose its flavor.
- Serve broccoli immediately: Broccoli is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to preserve its flavor and nutrients.
Conclusion:
Broccoli is a versatile vegetable that can be cooked in a variety of ways. It is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. By following these tips, you can create delicious and healthy broccoli dishes that your family and friends will love.
