No more boring broccoli! Roasted broccoli with garlic and red pepper flakes is full of flavor and sure to be your new favorite way to eat this superfood.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees and place baking racking in top third of the oven. Line baking sheet with foil; set aside.
Place the broccoli florets in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, olive oil, salt, and chili pepper flakes. Drizzle the mixture over the broccoli and toss to combine.
Pour the broccoli on the lined baking sheet, spreading it out to avoid crowding. Bake the broccoli for 16-20 minutes, or until lightly charred. Sprinkle extra sea salt over broccoli before serving (optional).

Notes
Always roast your broccoli (or any vegetable) at a high heat. Position the baking rack near the top ⅓ of the oven and roast between 425 to 450 degrees.
If you want to use the stalks of the broccoli too, be sure to cut off the outer portion of the stalk which tends to be more difficult to chew.
Don't crowd the broccoli when you are roasting it. Crowding veggies will cause them to steam leaving you with a mushier texture.
