What I love about oven roasted broccoli
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.
