Ingredients

  • 1 lb broccoli chopped into florets
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil 30 mL
  • ¼ tsp each salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic powder
  • ½ lemon juice + zest
  • 2 Tbsp grated parmesan omit for vegan option

Instructions

  • Prep: Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). In a large mixing bowl, stir together florets, oil, and spices (it's easier to use your hands instead of a spoon to equally coat all the broccoli in oil!)

  • Bake: Spread broccoli onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Flip each piece of broccoli over and continue cooking for 5 more minutes.
    Roasted broccoli florets on a baking sheet with grated cheese, savory seasoning, and a lemon wedge on the side create a delicious roasted broccoli dish.
  • Serve: Sprinkle with lemon zest, juice, and grated parmesan. Serve hot!

Notes

For even crispier broccoli, put the baking sheet in the oven while it preheats!
Store: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Reheat: Re-crisp in a 400°F oven or air fryer for 5–7 minutes. (Microwaving will make it soft.)
To roast broccoli in the air fryer, spread broccoli florets in an even layer and cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10 to 13 minutes.
