Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel to ensure optimal roasting results.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until evenly combined.
Add the broccoli florets to the bowl and toss them in the spice mixture until all pieces are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned broccoli florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded. This allows them to roast evenly and develop a nice crisp texture.
Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping the florets halfway through to ensure even browning. The broccoli should be tender with lightly charred edges when done.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle the roasted broccoli with lemon juice. Sprinkle with red chili flakes for extra heat, if desired.
Serve immediately as a side dish or snack. Enjoy the smoky, spicy flavors!
