AB's Famous Roasted Broccoli

I believe roasting is the superior way to cook vegetables. It is far better than boiling or steaming. My favorite vegetable to roast is broccoli. If you cut the florets small enough and give them enough time in the oven, they get addictively crispy. They are a perfect side for grilled chicken, pasta, sandwiches and just about everything else. I had a friend who said she didn’t like broccoli, but this recipe changed her mind. Give it a try – it might just change yours too.
