Frozen broccoli. Ugh. Snooze. Boring. Since there’s usually a bag or two in the freezer, it makes for a quick side veggie – in a pinch, but let’s be honest, it’s sad, weak, limp and mushy and you’re only eating it because you know it’s good for you. Fresh broccoli, on the other hand, drizzled with olive oil, topped with lots of minced garlic, roasted and topped with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese? Now, we’re talking!

Ingredients:

• 1 head of fresh broccoli
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• olive oil
• S&P
• Parmesan cheese

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Rinse, pat dry, and cut broccoli into small florets. Line on a small baking sheet. Drizzle with garlic oil, sprinkle the minced garlic evenly, and add salt and pepper to taste.

Roast for 18-20 minutes. Remove from oven, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and serve immediately.
