Ingredients

1 head broccoli
2 tbsp extra olive oil
1 pinch sea salt
1 tsp garlic granules

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas Mark 6
Cut the stalk off the bottom and then cut the broccoli into sections that are the same size. That tends to mean most of the florets in half and the bigger ones into 3.
Add the pieces onto a large flat baking tray. I like to line mine with baking paper or a reusable silicone liner just so they don't stick.
Tip on the oil and sprinkle the salt and garlic granules over the pile.
Turn the pieces over and over in the oil and seasonings until evenly covered. Spread them all out nicely on your tray so that there's a bit of space between them.
Roast for 15-20 minutes until tender. I check with a fork to see. Check at 15 minutes that they are not burning too much. You want frizzled edges not frazzled. Different ovens cook at different times so you may need to adjust your temperature.
Serve straight away and I dare you not to fall in broccoli love.

Notes

- cut your broccoli pieces up the same size so they cook at the same rate

- make sure you use a large flat tray with shallow sides so as to cook the shizzle out of the broccoli pieces, higher sides will make the broccoli bake more than roast

- use extra virgin olive oil for a fantastic nutty flavour

- check five minutes before the end of cooking time that your broccoli isn't burning and adjust temperature if needs be.
- reheat leftovers in a hot oven or the air fryer
