Spicy Garlic Roasted Broccoli

The list of vegetables that Chuck likes and the way he likes them prepared is pretty short; hence I am always looking for new ways to prepare them! He like broccoli and he likes garlic, so when I saw this recipe I knew I wanted to try it.

And yes, you are reading the recipe right, it calls for FIVE cloves of garlic in about 3 servings of broccoli. But don't worry - garlic is much less potent when you slice it, it's the mincing of it that really lets out that garlic flavor. And the fact that it is roasted just leaves all these little yummy, brown, garlic tidbits surrounding the broccoli.

Seriously, do not fear the garlic. You will not be sorry.
