Serves 4

1 lb broccoli crowns (to make it even easier, use the bagged broccoli crowns available at your grocery store)
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced (these especially get yummy, toasted and sweet in the oven)
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 425. In a bowl, toss together broccoli, olive oil and salt and pepper. Pour onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until crisp tender and the broccoli has slightly turned brown at the ends. Serve!

Barefoot Contessa additions: (makes it fancier)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 tablespoon toasted pinenuts
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon julienned fresh basil leaves (about 6 leaves)

After broccoli is done roasting, toss with the additions.
