Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and dry the broccoli florets thoroughly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets with olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
Toss everything together until the broccoli is well-coated with the seasonings.
Spread the broccoli in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring that the florets are evenly spaced for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the broccoli edges are golden brown and the stalks are tender when pierced with a fork.
Stir once halfway through the baking time to ensure even cooking.
Once baked, remove from the oven and serve immediately as a side dish.
