Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- While the oven preheats, in a large bowl, mix together the broccoli florets, extra virgin olive oil, fresh minced garlic, fresh lemon juice, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until the broccoli is well coated.
- Spread the seasoned broccoli florets evenly onto a large baking sheet, ensuring they have enough room to roast and not steam.
- Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. The broccoli should be tender and the edges slightly charred for that perfect crunch.
- Serve the roasted broccoli hot as a vibrant, flavorful side dish or enjoy it as a healthy, savory snack.
Tips
- For an extra flavor boost, try adding a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese or red pepper flakes before roasting.
- To ensure even roasting, make sure the broccoli florets are of similar size.
