Roasted Vegetables with Garlic

 On Pinterest I came across a recipe for roasted broccoli. It sounded really good, but some of the quantities weren't specified. So, I did a little experimenting and came up with the measurements that I liked. 

The recipe is super-easy, takes only 25 minutes of cooking time, and is a great way to get your family to enjoy more veggies. I found the crunchy, garlic-laced broccoli pieces to be so addicting, that it was hard to stop eating them!

I tried roasting cauliflower chunks too. They didn't get quite as crispy as the broccoli, but the roasted flavor was still very good. You could probably use the same technique for any type of vegetable, varying the baking time depending upon the amount of moisture in the vegetables.

Roasted Broccoli with Garlic

3-4 TB Vegetable oil
1/2 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Pepper
1 lb Broccoli pieces
1 tsp Minced garlic

Preheat oven to 425 F. degrees. Combine all ingredients in a closed ziploc-type bag. Knead the bag gently with your hands, until all of the pieces appear evenly coated with oil and seasonings. Spread broccoli on foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until pieces are lightly browned and crispy, but not burned. Serve  immediately.
