Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 30 grams parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets to ensure they roast well. Place the broccoli in a large mixing bowl.
Add olive oil to the bowl and toss the broccoli to coat it evenly.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the broccoli. Toss again to distribute the seasonings.
Spread the broccoli florets in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they are not crowded, as this will help them roast evenly and develop a nice caramelization.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 15-20 minutes. Stir the broccoli halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
Once the broccoli is tender and the edges are browned, remove them from the oven.
Immediately sprinkle the roasted broccoli with lemon zest and grated parmesan cheese while still hot. Toss gently to combine.
Serve the roasted broccoli warm as a delicious low-carb side dish.
