- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to roast the broccoli to a crispy finish.
- Prepare Broccoli: Wash the broccoli thoroughly and cut it into bite-sized florets for even cooking.
- Season Broccoli: In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper to coat evenly.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned broccoli in a single layer on a baking sheet to allow for proper roasting and crispiness.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and has crispy edges.
- Add Finishing Touches: Optionally, drizzle lemon juice over the roasted broccoli and sprinkle with grated Parmesan before serving for extra flavor.
Notes
- Ensuring the broccoli is spread out in a single layer helps achieve even roasting and crispiness.
- Adjust garlic and onion powder to taste depending on your preference.
- The lemon juice and Parmesan are optional but add a nice tang and richness to the dish.
- For extra crispiness, you can broil the broccoli for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
