Easy Roasted Broccoli
This super simple roasted broccoli makes an easy side dish that takes only a few minutes of effort and pairs fantastically with all your favorite weeknight dinners!
Ingredients
- 12 ounces broccoli or pre-chopped florets, crowns
- extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
- ⅛-¼ garlic powder (optional)
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
OPTIONAL EXTRAS
- Parmesan Cheese grated
- lemon fresh squeezed juice and zest
- sweet paprika or spicy ground cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Chop and break off broccoli into florets if using broccoli crowns. Wash and dry thoroughly.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and add the broccoli florets to a baking sheet.
- Drizzle broccoli with olive oil Mix well and spread out, spaced, so each little piece has some room to get crispy on the edges.
- Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. I typically add around ¼ tsp each of sea salt and garlic powder and around ⅛-¼ black pepper.
- Roast 15 to 20 minutes or until the edges are browned to your liking. Smaller florets will cook faster and larger pieces will take a little longer. Adjust as needed.
