Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 475°F (245°C). While it’s warming up, mix the olive oil and garlic together in a small bowl. Chop the broccoli into florets, leaving a couple of inches of stem on each piece, then spread them out on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle the garlic oil over the broccoli and toss everything so the florets are nicely coated. Sprinkle some salt and pepper on top. Pop the tray in the oven and roast for about 7 to 9 minutes, giving the broccoli a quick stir halfway through so it cooks evenly and gets a little charred around the edges. Once it’s tender and roasted to your liking, transfer it to a serving dish and finish by drizzling the balsamic vinegar over the top. Enjoy!

How to serve

Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or on the stove to keep the broccoli crisp rather than soggy. Avoid microwaving for best texture.
