3 Ingredient Recipe
Broccoli - we used frozen broccoli florets for this recipe. This way we did not have to worry too much about the kashrut issues in cleaning it. You can also use stems but you will not get the same crispy edges that we love so much.
Olive oil - this is what will aid the broccoli in developing those perfectly crisp edges. The olive oil almost "fries" the edges and bottoms which is where the roasty flavor comes from.
Salt - to taste.

Recipe FAQ

Not for this recipe! We used frozen broccoli for oven roasting.
Broccoli has a ton of natural flavor that is complimented by lots of different seasonings. You can try adding ½ teaspoon of coriander and ½ teaspoon of cumin prior to roasting. You can also try 1 teaspoon of chili powder or even ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper to spice it up.
You can but you will have to wash and clean it first. The texture will be different than if you use the frozen broccoli so just be aware of that. You will probable want to start out by baking for 20 minutes and checking it to see if it is done. Check it every 5 minutes after that until it is done to your liking.
