Instructions

Prep Broccoli for Roasting
Preheat oven to 425°F. If you want maximum browning, put your rimmed baking sheet in the oven while it preheats. Cut broccoli — stalk included — into coins and florets roughly 1½–2 inches across; uniform sizing means even cooking. Line the hot pan with foil or parchment. Toss broccoli with about 2 tablespoons olive oil per 1–1½ lbs, season well with kosher salt and black pepper, and add smashed garlic if using. Spread in a single layer with no pieces touching — crowding steams instead of roasts.

Asando brócoli
Coloca la bandeja de hornear en la rejilla central de tu horno precalentado a 425°F. Si la bandeja fue precalentada, transfiere el brócoli cuidadosamente a la superficie caliente para acelerar el doraje. Asa 18–24 minutos. En la marca de 10 minutos, verifica la parte inferior. Voltea o remueve con una espátula delgada de metal para doraje uniforme, o deja sin perturbar para un lado profundamente caramelizado. Busca bordes marrón dorado profundos, puntas del ramillete crujientes, y tallos que sean crujientes-tiernos cuando se perforen con un tenedor. No uses convección — sobre-seca el brócoli. Si los bordes están dorados pero los tallos aún están firmes, retira la bandeja, cubre bien con papel aluminio, y reposa 5–10 minutos; el vapor terminará los tallos sin perder el doraje.

Termina, sazóna y sirve
Retira el brócoli cuando los ramilletes están profundamente dorados en los bordes y los tallos ceden a un tenedor con un poco de mordida. Sazóna inmediatamente con sal mientras está caliente. Agrega Parmesano, un exprimidor de jugo de limón, y hojuelas de pimienta roja si deseas. Sirve directamente de la bandeja — pierde crujencia rápido. Evita amontonar la bandeja, calor bajo y ramilletes mojados antes de asar.
