👨‍🍳 Method

  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  2. 2
    Dry the vegetables well.
    💡Dry vegetables brown: drops of water on the vegetable evaporate in the oven and steam it instead of roasting it.
  3. 3
    In a bowl, toss the vegetables with the olive oil, garlic, salt and black pepper.

    Baking pan
  5. 5
    Roast the vegetables in a hot oven (220°C / 430°F) 20–25 minutes, turning once, until the broccoli is crisp at the edges and golden.

    💡Give it room in the pan: crowded vegetables steam instead of browning.
