Sometimes just a couple of little twists can take a basic recipe to a whole new level of delicious.
In this recipe, we set the oven close to its highest setting and add just a hint of sugar. This neutralizes the sulphury taste that is common in broccoli and other brassicas, and it adds a crispy texture to the florets while their stems become tender. Did I mention the garlic cloves mellow and caramelize to perfection? Let’s get cooking!
1 large head of broccoli with stalk
8 cloves of garlic
1 ½ Tbl olive oil
¼ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp sugar
generous pinch of black pepper
Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Place foil-lined baking sheet on lowest rack to preheat while you prepare recipe.
Cut broccoli stalk from crown and peel stalk. Slice stalk into pieces about ½-inch x 3-inch. Slice crown into 3-inch florets. In a medium bowl, place broccoli with whole garlic cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and toss until evenly coated. Sprinkle with salt, sugar and pepper and toss well.
Carefully remove baking sheet from oven (lean away from the oven door when it first opens, it will be unbelievably hot!). Pour broccoli mix onto baking sheet and arrange pieces evenly flat-side down. Roast on lowest rack 9-11 minutes, until stalks are fork-tender. Serve immediately.
