The idea is to get it super hot 2) Cut up the broccoli while it is preheating. The idea is to have a flat side that is going to go on the hot sheet. You want the pieces to be about 1/2 inch thick. Precision is not the point, but roughly you would like the broccoli to all be about the same size. 3) Toss the cut up broccoli with the olive oil, salt and pepper. When the oven (and pan) are heated, spread the broccoli out in a single layer. Ideally the flat cut sides would face down on the pan. A quick once over flipping the obvious ones is good enough. 4)Roast the broccoli in the oven for about 12 minutes. 5) Delicious.
