Sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, black pepper, and lemon zest over the broccoli. Toss again to ensure even distribution of the seasonings.
If desired, add crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of spice, and mix once more.
Spread the broccoli evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the florets are in a single layer for even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy, and the stalks are tender when pierced with a fork.
