Go to Chef John's broccoli recipe and cut the stalks as he advises. They are all equal size no matter the size of the floweret so they all get done at the same time. 10 minutes seems too quick to me. You definitely need the browning which gives awesome flavor.

I pressed the garlic, then combined it with all the other seasonings in the olive oil before tossing with the broccoli, so everything would be evenly distributed. The florets were turning brown at 10 minutes, so I removed from the oven and sampled. There was still some "tooth" to it, so I stopped cooking then. Though I did appreciate the sweetness of the caramelization, I really enjoy plain steamed broccoli. If you are looking for a change, this may do the trick for you.
Everyone loved it! But the difference is really making certain that it starts to char
After reading the reviews I lowered the heat a bit and added the garlic after 8-10 minutes. Very good!
Garlic Roasted Broccoli Haiku: "'Char' is the best part. Garlic was a little done. Maybe drop the temp?" I think in the end we'll always prefer a simple steamed broccoli w/ butter salt and a lemon squeeze but roasting is a nice change and we squabble over the pieces that are the brownest b/c they're the best. But w/ this recipe where some pieces were browned nicely at 20 min. others remained squishy and the garlic was a little burny. Maybe a lower temperature and stirring more frequently would even everything out. Ohh I had a lonely squash that needed to be eaten so I added slices of that too nothing remarkable just yellow alongside the green broccoli and we ate it w/ mashed potatoes and AR's "Mark's Surprise Meatloaf."
It s an ok recipe but I absolutely hate the smell and taste of burnt garlic. If you want to add in the garlic I advise keeping it out of the oven and cooking it ahead of time in a bit of oil in a pan and reserving until the broccoli is finished cooking in the oven.
This was tasty but my garlic burnt just as the broccoli was charring. I will watch more carefully next time I make this.
After tossing with olive oil toss lightly with flour and/or sugar as well. It gives it a nice browned flavor. Even my vegetable-hating 7-year-old really liked it.
Very good. Good simple healthy dish with common ingredients. I turned the broccoli twice during baking and lowered the temp. just a little and cooked 5 min longer. Thanks FPD
