I find roasting vegetables to be a great, low-intensity approach to add vegetable sides to any meal. I usually just make up my roasting approach, but inspired by a very pretty Cook's Illustrated picture, I decided to try an actual recipe for my latest broccoli roasting attempt.
The Cook's Illustrated Roasted Broccoli with Optional Garlic recipe produced a really great roasted broccoli. The broccoli had the texture of a perfectly roasted vegetable, but retained the flavor of fresh broccoli.
The bit of sugar added to the broccoli pre-roasting also added some great sweetness and crispness to the broccoli edges. The only modification I would make in the future is to use more than a tablespoon of minced garlic to have that flavor come out more. Otherwise, this will definitely be my go-to approach in the future.
