Notes
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds broccoli (1 medium head), cut into florets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven:
- Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss Broccoli:
- Place the broccoli florets on the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Toss to coat the broccoli evenly.
- Roast:
- Spread the broccoli in a single layer and roast for 14-18 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the stems are tender but crisp.
- Finish and Serve:
- If using Parmesan, sprinkle it over the roasted broccoli right before serving.
- Serve immediately.
Tips:
- To ensure the broccoli crisps up, rinse it under cold water, then pat dry thoroughly before roasting.
- Don't discard the stems—peel off the fibrous layer and chop them into bite-sized pieces for roasting.
