After oven roasting asparagus, green beans, cauliflower I thought WHY NOT BROCCOLI. The result is crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and a great new way for me to enjoy one of my favorite veggies. Hope you like it too.

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.
