Notes
Additions and Substitutions:
Create this recipe to your own taste. You can add garlic cloves, and other spices to the roasting process.
If red pepper flakes are too hot use black pepper.
Substitute romano or asiago cheese for the parmesan cheese.
I was able to purchase a bag of broccoli florets but if you buy a head of broccoli you can cut up the stalk into small pieces. However, since they are tough parboil or microwave them first to make them a bit more tender.
