Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 pound fresh broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper (optional)
  • Large bowl
  • Sharp knife
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F.
  2. Wash the broccoli under cold water and dry it thoroughly.
  3. Trim the broccoli into evenly-sized florets.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the broccoli with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until every piece is well coated.
  5. Spread the broccoli in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  6. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes.
  7. After 20 minutes, check if the broccoli is golden brown and tender; feel free to roast for an additional 5 minutes for extra crispiness.
  8. Remove the broccoli from the oven and let it cool for a minute before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the roasted broccoli just before serving.
