Ingredients

  • 1 Whole Broccoli Head
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon coarse black pepper

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees F
  • Trim the broccoli stem so that the broccoli can sit flat, but be careful and avoid trimming so much the florets fall apart
  • Season the broccoli with the oil, salt, and pepper
  • Roast the broccoli 20-25 minutes. Remove and set aside
  • Add more seasoning and/or olive oil to taste if needed.

Notes

 
  • This presents well if fully intact so don’t cut too much off the stem
  • The tighter the fit (broccoli to baking bowl) the better
  • Use a good quality olive oil. I used about two tablespoons of olive oil in this recipe, but feel free to use more (up to a ½ cup) to avoid too much browning of the crown top. Another safeguard would be to cover the top with foil after the first 15 minutes
  • Season before and after cooking
  • Olive oil + jerk seasoning + lime juice make for a great topping for the broccoli
