Report Abuse. 1  Patronize Definition. Source(s): https://shrink.im/a7Wjr. 2  Patronize. Source(s): https://shrinks.im/a7UkS. 3  Another slant on the phrase: Someone is selling a product, another person acts like he or she will help you out because you would never be able to sell a thing.

Directions. Place broccoli in a steamer basket set inside a pot of boiling water. Steam, covered, until crisp-tender, 3-5 minutes. Transfer broccoli to a serving bowl and toss with remaining ingredients.
Place into an oven preheated to 400 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Allow to cook for 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the temperature and size of the broccoli pieces. You may want to stir the broccoli around on the tray about half-way through the roasting process to facilitate even cooking.
