Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
In a large bowl, combine the broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Toss well to ensure even coating.
Spread the seasoned broccoli in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the middle rack of the preheated oven.
Roast the broccoli for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until they are crisp-tender and the edges are beginning to brown.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with lemon zest and red pepper flakes (if using) for a hint of citrus and heat.
Serve warm as a side dish or a healthy snack.
