Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets. Make sure they are in bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
Mince the garlic cloves finely.
In a large bowl, combine the broccoli florets with the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss well to coat the broccoli evenly.
Spread the broccoli in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Make sure there is enough space between the pieces to avoid steaming and ensure charring.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 15 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp and charred around the edges.
Remove the broccoli from the oven and immediately drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with lemon zest.
Toss the broccoli once more to distribute the lemon flavor evenly.
Transfer the charred broccoli to a serving dish and serve hot. Enjoy as a side or a healthy snack.
