Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with a spray of olive oil.
Rinse the broccoli florets under cold water and pat them dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Spread the broccoli florets evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray them with olive oil spray, making sure to cover most of the surfaces.
In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, lemon zest, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over the broccoli florets.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and charred in spots.
Remove the broccoli from the oven and transfer to a serving platter.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the charred broccoli. Enjoy!
