This dish is great! Flavors are bright and sublime! I used kalamata olives (because I had them) instead of regular black olives and capers. I also used my own yellow pear tomatoes instead of grape tomatoes. I love roasted vegetables, but it would never have occurred to me to roast broccoli.

Nice change for broccoli! Family loved it!
