Roasted Broccoli is Not the Same as Roasted Cauliflower

This is what  a well loved pan looks like.  


Recipe: Roasted Broccoli
In my earlier recipe for Roasted Cauliflower I said that the same directions applied to almost any hard vegetable, including broccoli. 
This is most definitely not true and I apologize to anyone who tried it. 
When you roast broccoli, you need higher heat and less time. 

1/2- 1 head broccoli, cut into florets and stems
1- 2 teaspoons olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper 
Lemon wedges

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees. 

Place the broccoli on a baking sheet in a single layer. Drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place in the oven and bake until the florets are slightly crunchy and there are little specks of brown on the edges, about 15 minutes. Serve right away, with lemon squeezed on top.

  1. And if you happen to have some Asian chili garlic paste, it goes amazingly well with roasted broccoli!
