Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets. Cut larger florets into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth to create the tangy dressing.
Add the broccoli florets to the bowl with the tangy dressing and toss gently but thoroughly, ensuring each floret is evenly coated.
Spread the broccoli evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding for crispy results.
Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the florets are tender and have golden, crispy edges.
If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the hot broccoli immediately after removing it from the oven for an extra layer of flavor.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a healthy snack. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice, if needed.
