Ingredients:
2-3 cups of broccoli florets
2-3 TBSP olive oil (don’t be skimpy)
2 tsp chopped garlic from a jar
2 tsp kosher salt
Fresh ground pepper
2 TBSP coarsely grated aged parmigiano-reggiano
For the tomato sauce:
1 medium tomato chopped
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp dried oregano
1 tsp olive oil
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash broccoli and dry very thoroughly-we want to roast it, not steam it. Massage the olive oil and garlic into the broccoli. Spread the broccoli out on a baking sheet with plenty of room between the florets. Sprinkle with salt.
Roast for 20 minutes, shaking and turning the pan half way through. Don’t be afraid of the color that develops, you want it to caramelize (not burn though)-it makes the broccoli wonderfully sweet and yummy.
While the broccoli roasts, heat the olive oil for the tomato. Add the tomato, salt and oregano. Cook over medium heat until reduced, about 15 minutes.
Remove broccoli from pan. Sprinkle with freshly ground pepper. Top with tomato sauce and cheese.
