Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds broccoli crowns
- 4 whole garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoons kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Rinse the broccoli crowns and pat them dry. Cut them into bite-sized florets and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves. Add the garlic slices to the broccoli in the bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the broccoli and garlic, then sprinkle with the red pepper flakes, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Toss everything together until the broccoli is evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.
Spread the broccoli mixture out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd the florets.
Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping the broccoli halfway through to ensure even browning. The broccoli should be tender with crispy, caramelized edges.
Remove the broccoli from the oven and transfer to a serving dish. Drizzle with lemon juice for a fresh, zesty finish.
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy on its own as a healthy snack.
