Ingredients
  

  • 2 extra large broccoli crowns washed previously and completely dried
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons white balsamic vinegar

Equipment

  • 1 Rimmed baking sheet
  • 1 medium to large mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. At least 4 hours before you want to roast your broccoli, wash it and put it in the fridge to dry. A good way to do this is to put the broccoli on a small rimmed baking sheet lined with paper towels and then place the baking sheet with the broccoli in the fridge uncovered. See note.
  2. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  3. Cut the broccoli crowns into bite sized florets.
  4. Place the florets in a mixing bowl, and add olive oil, salt, and pepper. With your hands, mix well until all of the broccoli is evenly coated.
  5. Pour broccoli onto a rimmed baking sheet, spread evenly and roast in the oven for 15 minutes. Stir the broccoli and roast for another 5 to 10 minutes. Watch the broccoli so that it doesn't burn.
  6. Take the pan out of the oven and sprinkle 2 Tablespoons of white balsamic vinegar evenly over the broccoli. Toss and serve!

Notes

It is really important that the broccoli is very dry for this recipe. Water on the broccoli will create steam and will make your roasted broccoli floppy and sad. Dry broccoli is key!
