[quote=Anonymous]Definitely roast it in the oven.

Toss it with some olive oil and a little garlic salt (or just salt, if you prefer) and put it in a pan in the oven.  Shake it up a few times so it doesn't stick, and eat once it's a little crispy on top.  Then shake a bit of parmesean cheese over the top, if you like.  Or shredded cheddar.

In the beginning, you might want to use more olive oil and salt.  They bring out good flavor.  Over time, you can cut back on both, but you don't want to eliminate them entirely.

DH HATES cooked veggies, but he loves broccoli cooked this way.  I can't say why exactly, but it really works.

Also, if you want to get a little crazy, add some cauliflower in there, too.  It also roasts really well when tossed with a little oil and salt.

To make life REALLY easy, just get the pre-cut, precleaned packages of broccoli (or mixed broccoli/cauliflower).  We eat enough of it that we get ours at BJs.  But you can find smaller bags at any supermarket.  It's actually cost-effective when compared to the whole heads of broccoli or cauliflower when you consider that you're only eating the flower tops, not the stalks.  (I do know people who shred the stalks into cole slaw, but that's not for beginners.  It can be a bit tough.)[/quote]
