Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat fully.
- Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets. Ensure they are cut into bite-sized pieces for even roasting.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets with 3 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Sprinkle in 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
- Toss well to ensure that each floret is evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
- Spread the seasoned broccoli florets out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Spacing them out will help them roast evenly and become crisp.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and starting to char around the edges. You may want to stir or flip the broccoli halfway through to ensure even roasting.
- Once you have removed the broccoli from the oven, transfer it to a serving dish.
- Drizzle 1 teaspoon of lemon juice over the hot roasted broccoli and toss to combine, enhancing the flavor with a fresh, citrusy touch.
- Serve the lemon garlic roasted broccoli warm as a delightful side dish or enjoy it on its own.
Tips:
- Make sure to dry the broccoli thoroughly after washing to ensure it roasts rather than steams.
- Toss the broccoli well to ensure even coating of the oil and seasoning.
- Preheat the oven to a high temperature (around 425°F/220°C) for optimal roasting.
- Spread the broccoli out in a single layer on the baking sheet to make sure it cooks evenly.
- Stir the broccoli halfway through the roasting process to make sure all sides get crispy.
- Add some freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving for an extra layer of flavor.
