If you're tired of steaming broccoli or eating it mixed in salads or casseroles, try roasting it in the oven. It gives it a whole different taste, somewhat nutty in flavor. It's extremely simple, quick and delicious.
Recipe for Oven-Roasted Broccoli
Preheat oven to 300 or 350 degrees F (.
Spray broccoli with oil spray. (you can toss it with a quarter cup of oil, but it's higher in calories.)
Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste.
Spread out the florets of broccoli on a greased cookie sheet or jelly roll pan. (Cut large florets in halves or quarters so it all bakes evenly.)
Bake for 15 - 20 minutes, turning florets to other side at about 7 or 8 minutes. When the broccoli begins to brown just a little on the outside edges, it is ready to take out. Check at 12 or 15 minutes to see if it's done. Serve warm.
