Ingredients

  • 1 pound broccoli florets
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8-1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
  2. Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
  3. Dry your broccoli extremely well using paper towels or a salad spinner. The dryer the broccoli the crispier it will get!
  4. Trim florets to a uniform size then add to prepared pan and drizzle with olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic/garlic powder. Toss until evenly coated. Line in a single layer.
  5. Roast for 12-15 minutes if adding Parmesan or 15-18 if not adding Parmesan (because the broccoli will go back in the oven) OR until broccoli reaches desired crisp-tenderness.
  6. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Broil until Parmesan is melted, approximately 3-5 minutes. Continue to broil if desired for crispier or more charred florets. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste if desired.
