Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Wash and pat dry the broccoli florets. Make sure they are evenly sized for consistent roasting.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the broccoli with the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the broccoli out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the pieces are not overcrowded for optimal roasting.
Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly crisped on the edges.
Remove the tray from the oven and immediately sprinkle the roasted broccoli with grated Parmesan cheese, allowing the residual heat to melt it slightly.
If desired, drizzle with a splash of lemon juice for added brightness.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own as a healthy snack.
