My very favorite simple way to make broccoli (whereas Broccoli's Law is my favorite more involved way to make broccoli). From Cook's Illustrated February 2008.
1 large head broccoli (~1 3/4 lb)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Ground black pepper
Lemon wedges for serving
1. Adjust oven rack to lowest position, place large rimmed baking sheet on rack, and heat oven to 500 degrees. Cut broccoli into wedges 3-4 inches in diameter and *remove outer peel from stalk. Place broccoli in large bowl; drizzle with oil and toss well until evenly coated. Sprinkle with salt, sugar, and pepper to taste and toss to combine.
2. Working quickly, remove baking sheet from oven. Carefully transfer broccoli to baking sheet and spread into even layer, placing flat sides down. Return baking sheet to oven and roast until lightly browned and tender, 9-11 minutes. Transfer to serving dish and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
* The outer peel becomes tough if it's not removed before roasting
