Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets, then place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the broccoli and toss to coat each floret evenly.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper over the broccoli. Mix well to ensure the seasoning is distributed evenly.
Spread the seasoned broccoli florets in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the edges of the broccoli are lightly browned and tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the lemon zest over the hot broccoli.
Drizzle the fresh lemon juice over the broccoli for a subtle tangy flavor and toss gently.
Serve the baked broccoli warm and enjoy it as a low sodium, simple, and healthy side dish.
