Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets. Cut any large florets into smaller, evenly sized pieces to ensure uniform cooking.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves or use a garlic press for convenience.
Place the broccoli florets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle them with the olive oil, then sprinkle with the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together with your hands or a spatula to evenly coat the broccoli.
Spread the broccoli in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring the pieces have space between them to roast rather than steam.
Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and browned, and the stems are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the broccoli from the oven and immediately drizzle with the balsamic vinegar. Toss gently to coat the florets in the vinegar.
Transfer the roasted broccoli to a serving dish and serve warm as a side dish to complement any main course.
