Broccoli, like most cruciferous vegetables, is especially delicious when deeply charred, which develops nutty, bittersweet flavors while crisping the florets. Our method of choice is a preheated baking sheet in an intensely hot oven, as more broccoli can be cooked this way than in a skillet on the stovetop.

so delicious
My elderly Midwestern mother who does not like anything "weird" asked me to make this again and print her the recipe 2 days after I took a risk and made it because there were dates in the pantry. Used a blend of broccoli and cauliflower, turned down to 350 after 10 minutes at 500 and cooked another 10 minutes so they wouldn't be too burnt and left the sliced almonds whole instead of chopping them. Success!
