After oven roasting asparagus, green beans, cauliflower I thought WHY NOT BROCCOLI.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh broccoli spears: Look for broccoli spears that are deep green in color, with tightly closed florets and no signs of wilting or yellowing.
  • Trim the broccoli spears: Cut off the tough ends of the broccoli spears, and remove any leaves or blemishes.
  • Season the broccoli spears: Toss the broccoli spears with olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • Roast the broccoli spears at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the florets and give them a slightly crispy texture.
  • Watch the broccoli spears carefully while roasting: They can go from perfectly roasted to overcooked very quickly.
  • Serve the broccoli spears immediately: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:
