what is your favourite vegetable?

I have to go with broccoli. I don't know how it got pegged as the quintessential "children hate it" food, cause I've always thought it's delicious. My friend Nikki also gave me this amazing recipe for baking broccoli in the oven that goes something like this:

Wash, dry and chop up a big bunch of broccoli into little trees and throw it in a large bowl. Drizzle in olive oil, chop up 3 or 4 cloves of garlic and throw it in, and sprinkle in pepper and kosher salt (or sea salt). Toss it all together well; your broccoli should have a nice coating of oil and sprinklings of salt and pepper.

Heat your oven up to 400ºF (or 200ºC, if you're British) and line a cookie sheet/baking pan with aluminum foil (or aluminee-um, if you're British). Scatter your broccoli around on the foil and cram the excess garlic bits into strategic parts of the broccoli trees. Bake the broccoli for about 12 minutes. The edges of the trees should start to be crisping nicely. Remove from the oven and squeeze some dribbles of lemon juice over your broccoli and serve.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Don't overdo it on the pepper or the lemon juice like I did the first time I made this, or you will hate this recipe.

Questions? I will answer them possibly.
