Garlic Roasted Broccoli

"If you need a healthy side dish that will add some green to your plate, then you have come to the right place! Forget about soggy, flavorless steamed broccoli, because this Garlic Roasted Broccoli recipe will quickly become your family's favorite! With spring upon us and farmer's markets popping up again, I thought that it would be appropriate to offer a new quick-prep option for that head of fresh broccoli in your refrigerator. With a touch of garlic, a crispy exterior, and the natural sweetness that's brought out as a result of the roasting process, this broccoli recipe is a winner that you will turn to again and again. If I'm going to serve a vegetable side dish more than once or twice, it better be REALLY easy. I'm too worried about getting an entree on the table each night -- I can't bother with fussing over the extras! Fortunately, this broccoli recipe only requires a few minutes of hands-on time and a few ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen. It's healthy, it's kid-approved, and it's a great way to get you out of the frozen vegetable rut."

NotesAdjust the cooking time to suit your preference. I love a crispy, charred roasted broccoli, so I tend to leave the broccoli in the oven longer. If your kids don't want much char on the outside of the broccoli, pull it out as soon as it's tender (after about 15-18 minutes).
