INGREDIENTS FOR ROASTED BROCOLLI

• 1 kg broccoli
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

 

PROCEDURE FOR ROASTED BROCCOLI

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 200 degree Celsius. This takes time so just switch it on before you do anything else

Step 2: Break the broccoli apart, then wash through running water

Step 3: In a large bowl, place the washed broccolis, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp ground pepper. Coating the vegetable in olive oil intensifies the heat during the roasting process and fries the exterior of the broccoli which produces a delightful char. The salt and pepper then brings out the flavor even more.

Step 4: Toss the broccoli to mix everything well

Step 5: Place the broccoli evenly onto the baking pan, then place in the oven for 25 minutes. You can opt to pull out earlier if you don’t want the broccoli too charred

Step 6: And that’s it! So easy right? And yet, so delicious!
