Oven Roasted Broccoli Recipe
Description
This recipe uses fresh broccoli heads trimmed into bite-sized florets, coated evenly with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and cracked black pepper. Spreading the florets in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet promotes even roasting. The broccoli is roasted at a high temperature, around 450°F, until the edges darken to a slight char and crispiness while the stems become tender yet retain some firmness.
The roasting process concentrates the broccoli’s flavor and texture, creating crispy edges and a soft interior. Seasoning with garlic powder adds mild aromatic notes without overpowering. Serving immediately preserves the crispness and heat.
Oven roasted broccoli complements a variety of main dishes and can be used as a side or incorporated into salads and bowls. Watching the florets near the end of roasting prevents burning and achieves the ideal balance between tenderness and crispness.
Monitor the broccoli during the last minutes of roasting and remove it promptly when edges are browned and crisp. This results in broccoli that is perfectly roasted without becoming burnt.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds broccoli 2 pounds of heads, florets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
