Ingredients

1 large head of broccoli (about 1½lb / 700g)
2 tablespoons oil (vegetable, canola, avocado etc)
¼ cup balsamic vinegar (4 tablespoons)
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon salt
pinch black pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400F / 200c.
Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets and place in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, mix together the rest of the ingredients (oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic powder, salt and pepper) til combined.
Pour the balsamic mixture over the broccoli, and toss well to coat.
Place the broccoli on a parchment lined baking sheet and place in the pre-heated oven.
Roast for 20 minutes, flipping the broccoli halfway through cooking, til tender and browned.

Notes

Roast the broccoli in a single layer. If it is over crowded, the broccoli will steam rather than roast.
Flip the florets over half way through cooking. This will help the cook evenly.
Use a fork to check that the stems are tender. They shouldn't be soft and mushy, they are best when they still have a bit of bite to them.
