Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 piece lemon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Rinse and dry the broccoli florets and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the bowl with the broccoli.
Drizzle the olive oil over the broccoli and garlic, ensuring they are lightly coated.
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice of one half over the broccoli. Reserve the other half for optional garnish slices.
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the broccoli, then toss everything together until the florets are evenly coated.
Spread the broccoli evenly on the prepared baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding to ensure even roasting.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges of the broccoli are crispy and the stems are tender.
Remove from the oven and, if desired, slice the reserved lemon half and garnish the baked broccoli before serving.
