Burnt Broccoli

Ingredients

  • broccoli
  • olive oil, enough to coat the broccoli
  • a sprinkle of sea salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven broiler to hi, or to the highest oven temperature.
  2. Cut the broccoli into florets, and peel and chop the stems.
  3. Arrange the broccoli on a baking sheet or in a baking dish, and coat generously with olive oil and a splash of sea salt.
  4. Place in the oven for about 10-15 minutes, and broil until visibly charred (checking once or twice). Remove and toss with a spatula. Continue broiling for about 5-10 minutes more, until broccoli is tender and evenly charred.
