Ingredients:

2 cups broccoli
180g
3 tbsp olive oil
40g
1 tsp salt
6g
1/2 tsp black pepper
1.05g
1 tsp lemon juice
5g
1 tsp garlic powder
3.10g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Your Oven:
- Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat fully.
2. Prepare the Broccoli:
- Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets. Ensure they are cut into bite-sized pieces for even roasting.
3. Season the Broccoli:
- 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.
4. Arrange on Baking Sheet:
- 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.
5. Roast the Broccoli:
- 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.
6. Add Lemon Juice:
- 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.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
- 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.

With its combination of tangy lemon and robust garlic, this roasted broccoli recipe is sure to become a favorite in your household. The simplicity of its preparation and the depth of its flavor make it an excellent accompaniment to a variety of main courses.
