Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1.5 teaspoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets. Cut them into bite-sized pieces if necessary.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes until well combined.
Add the broccoli florets to the bowl and toss them thoroughly until they are evenly coated with the mustard mixture.
Spread the coated broccoli florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for even roasting.
Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the florets are tender-crisp and the edges are slightly browned and caramelized.
Remove the roasted broccoli from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own for a healthy, flavorful snack.
