Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut broccoli into small florets, keeping the stems attached. Place broccoli in a large bowl and toss with olive oil. Spread broccoli in a single layer on a cookie sheet or two. Make sure they are not too crowded or the pieces will steam and not brown. Roast for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, toss red onion with remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of olive oil. Remove the broccoli from the oven, toss with a spatula and add red onion. Roast for an additional 5-10 minutes or until the broccoli begins to turn brown around the edges, and onions soften. Serve as a side dish or toss with pasta for a hearty vegetarian meal!
