Roasted broccoli has a slightly sweet, nutty, caramalized flavor! Way more flavorful than steamed.

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs Fresh broccoli florets
3 tbsp Olive oil
2 cloves Garlic minced
1/2 tsp Kosher salt or more to taste
1/4 tsp Black pepper or more to taste
Fresh lemon juice

Instructions

Cut the broccoli into equal-sized florets.
1 1/2 lbs Fresh broccoli florets
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or brush the pan with olive oil.
Place the broccoli florets in the middle of the sheet pan. Drizzle the olive oil, minced garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper over the broccoli. Toss to coat them evenly. Arrange them in a single layer.
3 tbsp Olive oil, 2 cloves Garlic, 1/2 tsp Kosher salt, 1/4 tsp Black pepper
Roast for 15-20 minutes, until they are slightly browned and crisp tender. Serve immediately with a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.

Notes

You can mix the florets with the seasonings in a large bowl first then arrange on the baking pan. I do it right on the baking sheet to avoid extra cleanup.

Let any leftovers cool completely, place them in an airtight container, and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
