Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables
- 1 head broccoli (1-1.5 pounds, cut into florets)
Seasoning
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic (peeled and minced)
- 1/4 teaspoon dried garlic powder (or more to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Ground black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Prep: Heat oven to 425°F and line a sheet pan with aluminum foil or spray it with cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easier cleanup.
- Season broccoli: Place broccoli florets in a large mixing bowl. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, dried garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Pour the mixture over the broccoli and toss well to coat evenly.
- Roast: Spread the seasoned broccoli evenly on the prepared sheet pan, making sure not to overcrowd it to allow proper roasting. Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and slightly charred on the edges. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the pan while roasting to prevent soggy broccoli and ensure crispy edges.
- You can adjust the amount of garlic powder to suit your taste preferences.
- For easier cleanup, line your sheet pan with foil or use cooking spray.
- Serve immediately after roasting for optimal texture and flavor.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
