Roasted Broccoli

 

I think about roasted broccoli in the morning...in the afternoon, and at night. I LOVE it.  I'm not the broccoli lover I used to be, but after tasting it roasted on a pan, it's amazing.

Ingredients:
2 heads broccoli, separated into florets
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
 In a large bowl, toss broccoli florets with the extra virgin olive oil, sea salt.
Spread the broccoli out in an even layer on a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until florets, turning after 10 minutes. 
They are tender enough to pierce the stems with a fork at about 15 to 20 minutes.
Remove and transfer to a serving platter.

Enjoy!!
