Almost Alton's Oven Roasted Broccoli

Almost Alton’s Oven Roasted Broccoli

I’m calling this Almost Alton’s Oven Roasted Broccoli. Just because it’s slightly adapted from the Man himself! I used to make oven-roasted broccoli a lot. Maybe you did, too. So simple, it was hardly a recipe. I’d toss broccoli with a bit of oil, throw it in the oven, and when it was done, it was done.
