Oven Roasted Broccoli

This oven roasted broccoli is so tasty. All it needs are plenty of olive oil, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a hot oven! 15 minutes in a 450°F oven, and it's perfect.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh broccoli
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil extra-virgin
  • ½ teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt or ¼ teaspoon of any other salt, including Morton kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with high-heat-resistant parchment paper.
  2. Cut the broccoli into large florets, with some of the stalk attached. Arrange the florets in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  3. Drizzle the olive oil over the broccoli. Use your hands to ensure all the broccoli florets are well coated.
  4. Sprinkle the broccoli with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  5. Roast until the broccoli is tender-crisp and beginning to char in places, about 15 minutes. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • After the first 10 minutes in the oven, you can sprinkle the broccoli with ½ teaspoon of garlic powder and 2 tablespoons of dry-grated parmesan cheese, lightly spray it with olive oil, and continue baking for 5 more minutes.
  • Don't discard the broccoli stalks! Peel them, cut them into pieces, season the same way you season the florets, and bake them on a separate baking sheet. The stalks need to cook slightly longer, so place them in the oven five minutes before the florets. 
  • The leftovers keep reasonably well for up to 3 days in the fridge in an airtight container. But this is one of those dishes best eaten fresh out of the oven. The broccoli florets lose their crispiness and become mushy when stored. Sometimes, I use the leftovers in an omelet the next day. They are also good when added cold to a salad.
  • If you'd like to reheat the leftovers, it's best to do so in the oven, as this restores their crispiness. You can reheat them in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
