Parmesan Roasted Broccoli
This is my husbands favorite, and only, way he likes brocolli. It’s amazing how oven roasting changes the flavor of brocolli. Try this, especially if you don’t like brocolli, I think you will be pleasantly surprised!
Ingredients
1 bunch brocolli, cut into long florets
1/4 c olive oil
3 cloves minced garlic
1/4 c parmesan cheese
1-2 Tbs salt
1-2 tsp fresh-ground pepper
Preheat oven to 350. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Mix olive oil, garlic, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Toss the brocolli in the olive oil mixture. Place the brocolli on the foil-lined cookie sheet in a single layer. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the florets’ edges are just turning golden.

This is an excellent tip. I love it since I usually cook broccoli virtually every day of the week.
One suggestion I have is that it might be good to use extra-virgin olive oil in place of normal olive oil for more flavor. I recommend the olive oil from Holy Food Imports (www.holyfoodimports.com) because it is soooo good.
