Ingredients

  • 1 large bunch broccoli (about 1 1/2 lb.), flowerets cut into bits size pieces, and stems peeled and sliced 1/2 inch thick
  • 1 Tbs. vegetable oil
  • 1 Tbs. minced, peeled fresh ginger
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed with garlic press

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Toss broccoli and oil in two 15 1/2x10 1/2 inch jelly roll pans until evenly coated.
