- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Wash and dry the broccoli florets thoroughly. Ensure they are completely dry to achieve optimal roasting.

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.
