Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Rinse and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets with a clean kitchen towel.
Place the broccoli florets in a large bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the broccoli and toss until all the florets are well coated.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the broccoli, and toss again to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Arrange the seasoned broccoli in a single layer on a baking sheet. For easier cleanup, you can line the baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
If using, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the baked broccoli immediately after taking it out of the oven.
Serve the baked broccoli warm as a delicious low-carb side dish.
