red pepper garlic roasted broccoli



this surprisingly delicious recipe comes from howard brown and the awesome people of dominion harvest, who not only email me great recipes every week, but deliver to my doorstep the local, fresh produce to make them with. the best broccoli ever - roasting is the way to go!

serves 4 to 6 (or just one if it's me)

1 head of broccoli, cut into florets
3 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

preheat oven to 450°F.

toss broccoli with 3 tablespoons oil in a large bowl to coat, then sprinkle with sea salt and pepper to taste. transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes.

stir the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil, garlic, and red pepper in small bowl. drizzle the garlic mixture over broccoli and toss to coat. roast another 8 minutes, or until broccoli is beginning to brown. i like a little extra heat, so i sprinkle some more red pepper flakes on before i dig in.
