Why This Recipe Works
This supersimple recipe turns out seasoned, well-cooked broccoli that’s the perfect side dish for just about any dinner. We start by tossing broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper. The oil helps the seasoning stick to the veggies, and it also encourages (delicious!) browning. For comparison, have kids leave a few florets plain (leave them out of the bowl in step 2) before placing them on the rimmed baking sheet. Have them compare how the unoiled, unseasoned broccoli looks and tastes compared with the rest of the batch.
