Ingredients
- 1 bunch broccoli spears
- 6 garlic cloves, peeled
- 3 tbsp. olive oil
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
Directions
-
Adjust the oven racks in the bottom and upper third and preheat the oven to 450.
-
Trim about 1 inch off the ends of the broccoli spears and discard. Slice each broccoli spear lengthwise into 8 pieces total.
-
Place the broccoli, cut side up, and the garlic cloves on a large rimmed baking sheet and drizzle broccoli with the olive oil. Season both sides with the salt and pepper flakes.
-
Roast on the bottom rack until the broccoli is browned on the bottom, about 10 minutes. Flip the broccoli and garlic and roast until tender and browned, 10 more minutes.
-
Turn on the broiler. Put the pan on the higher rack and broil until the broccoli just begins to char and crisp, about 2 minutes. Keep a close eye to make sure you don’t overburn it. Serve immediately.
