Roasted Broccoli with Smashed Garlic

Here’s a great way to make broccoli if you are tired of making it the same old way. Roasting broccoli with garlic creates a sweet, nutty delicious flavor and the aroma that wafts through your kitchen will make everyone asking when’s dinner ready. 

This is a simple, yet elegant side dish. I like it topped with shaved Parmesan but you can also add red pepper flakes or top it with fresh lemon juice.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 lbs broccoli florets, cut long with part of stem
• 6 cloves garlic, smashed
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• kosher salt and fresh pepper
