Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 heads broccoli
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse the broccoli heads thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Cut the broccoli into evenly sized florets, discarding the woody stem ends. If desired, peel and slice the remaining stem into half-inch pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss until the broccoli is evenly coated with the seasonings.
Spread the seasoned broccoli in a single layer on a large baking sheet, ensuring there is ample space between pieces for proper roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the broccoli florets are tender and the edges are browned and crispy. Stir halfway through cooking for even roasting.
Remove the broccoli from the oven and transfer it to a serving dish.
Drizzle the roasted broccoli with fresh lemon juice just before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
Serve hot as a delicious side dish to your favorite paleo main courses.
