Roasted Broccoli

Coming to you from Pullman

Saw this on America's Test Kitchen, one of my favorite shows by the way, and it gave me a craving for some roasted broccoli.  Recipe is here, but you have to be a member or something to see it.  So I'll just tell you...
Recipe
as much broccoli as you want
as much (or as little) EVOO as you want
salt, pepper, and garlic to taste

Mix the garlic in with the EVOO before drizzling over broccoli in a bowl.  Mix around until everything is covered.  Then season with the salt and pepper.  Put in 450° oven for 5 minutes.  I just noticed on the website that I'm supposed to trim the outer peel from the broccoli stalk before roasting because it gets tough and it sure does, but I wasn't too worried about it.  Also, if you put the cut sides down onto the pan they will get nice a brown (supposedly you aren't supposed to eat the burned crispy parts of roasted vegetables because they might be carcinogenic, but I'm ignoring this for now).  I only have a picture of the broccoli because it was a side to my Lean Cuisine Meatloaf and Mashed potatoes dinner, which I didn't think was necessary to share a picture of.

I think I'm going to look into eating more roasted vegetables.  Seems like a good idea.  Plus, if it means I eat more broccoli, even better.  Broccoli is a super star...

This graph is made possible by The World's Healthiest Foods, which is a website I've been browsing recently because you can search for any food or any vitamin and get fun graphs like this so that you can know what you're eating.  Anyway, I would recommend adding a head of broccoli to any meal!
