Have you ever tried oven roasted broccoli? Until a few weeks ago, when my sister told me how good it was, I had never bothered with it. I mean, I’ve seen it all over Pinterest, but I just never thought it would be worth the effort.
I was so wrong. It’s seriously the best way to make broccoli ever. It comes out flavorful and crispy, rather than soggy or over cooked like when you steam or boil it.
I’ve already made oven roasted broccoli at least 5 times since I first tried it, and I made it again last night. I’m that impressed by it. Plus, it’s so easy.

This looks amazing! I love roasted broccoli and make it just like this all the time 🙂
I am totally addicted to roasted broccoli! It’s such a tasty side dish that I almost forget it is good for me 🙂
I didn’t try broccoli until after I had graduated from high school and when I finally did I realized that I actually liked it. Now I find that broccoli is one of my all time favorite veggies, and yet I’ve never had it oven roasted yet, I’m totally trying this out as soon as I buy some more!
