Does anything smell better than garlic roasting in an oven? I'm having a hard time coming up of what that might be. Needless to say this recipe smells delicious while it is cooking and tastes the exact same way. Roasting broccoli gives it a completely different taste than steaming it - it is almost nutty. Paired with the mild taste of parmesan and olive oil, this makes a great side dish. I like a little heat to most of my foods, so feel free to adjust the red pepper flakes to your liking, or omit it altogether.
Something about this picture reminds me of the snow. I normally don't complain about not having snow, but this year I would really appreciate having some of the fluffy white stuff for the holidays. It seems like that's not going to happen though. Sigh. Maybe next year...
