Description

A simple and delicious recipe for roasted broccoli that brings out its natural flavors with a crispy texture. Tossed with olive oil and seasonings, then oven-roasted to perfection, this dish makes a healthy and flavorful side that pairs well with various meals. Optional lemon juice and grated Parmesan add a zesty and savory finish.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 large head of broccoli

Seasonings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Toppings

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for roasting the broccoli evenly.
  2. Prepare Broccoli: Wash the broccoli thoroughly and cut it into bite-sized florets for even cooking and ease of eating.
  3. Season Broccoli: In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to coat each piece evenly.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned broccoli evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer to allow proper roasting and crisping.
  5. Roast Broccoli: Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the broccoli is tender with crispy edges.
  6. Add Optional Toppings: After roasting, drizzle lemon juice over the broccoli and sprinkle with grated Parmesan if desired for added zest and flavor.
  7. Serve: Serve immediately as a tasty and healthy side dish.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
  • You can substitute garlic and onion powder with fresh minced garlic and grated onion if preferred.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste, especially if adding Parmesan which adds salty flavor.
  • Lemon juice adds brightness, but can be omitted for a more classic flavor.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best texture.
