Basic Roasted Broccoli
- 750 grams broccoli fresh, cut into florets (2 large heads of broccoli)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt and ground black pepper

- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar drizzled to garnish
- 3 tablespoons tahini drizzled over to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°c (fan)
- Cut the florets from the main stalks, then slice any larger pieces in half (do not waste the thicker stalk, this can be sliced and roasted too)
- Place the broccoli into a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil and plenty of salt and freshly ground black pepper(If adding garlic or chilli flakes, add them at this point)
- Coat all the florets fully in the olive oil and then place on a baking tray, leaving gaps between each floret
- Place in the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes or until the broccoli is tender and the edges are browning
- Remove from the oven and garnish if using any other flavourings such as lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, or tahini
