Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 unit lemon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets with olive oil, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Add Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl, and toss well to evenly distribute the spices over the broccoli.
Spread the broccoli in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded, which helps in even roasting.
Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until they are tender and have a slight char.
Once done, remove from the oven and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the roasted broccoli for a zesty finish.
Transfer the Cajun broccoli to a serving dish and serve hot as a side to your favorite main course.
