Equipment
Ingredients
- 1½ pounds fresh broccoli, washed and dried
- about ¼ cup olive oil
- salt and black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Wash, dry and cut the broccoli into small pieces -- a bit larger than bite-sized, including the tender portions of the stems. The broccoli florets should be sliced in half length-wise, so one side is flat. The flat side has more surface area to come in contact with the pan, which is greatly helpful in the charring process. You should have about 8 cups.
- Drizzle about half of the olive oil an a sheet pan and then spread the broccoli out in a single layer on top. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle with generously salt and several turns of black pepper. Use your hands to toss the broccoli so it’s evenly coated. Be sure the broccoli is in a single layer on the sheet pan -- if it doesn’t all fit this way, use a second one, or do it in two batches.
- Place in the preheated 450°F oven and roast until some of the broccoli is brown and crispy, about 15 minutes. Use a spatula or kitchen tongs to flip the broccoli over for another 15 minutes, or until all of it looks nicely browned. Some tiny areas will be black or almost black, this is okay.
