{"0":"Directions:","1":"1. Preheat oven to 400. Toss florets in oil (and garlic if using) on a baking sheet (I prefer to mix in a sealed bag first). Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until fork-tender and lightly browned, 25 minutes. Remove pan from oven and reduce to 350.","3":"2. Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute.
