Roasted Broccoli
The easiest and most delicious way to eat broccoli. My favourite side dish!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs broccoli I've fallen in love with the price and convenience of the pre chopped bag of florets at Costco
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2-1 tsp sea salt I just eyeball a few good pinches
- 1/4-1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper eyeball it
Optional Garnishes:
- 1 lemon, zest and juice
- pinch red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup fresh grated parmesan
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425F.
- Chop your broccoli through the stems into the size of florets you want to eat. If you have extra stem pieces you can peel the tough outer layer and chop the remaining stem into bite size chunks - they taste awesome roasted as well!
- Toss on a large sheet pan with the olive oil, salt and pepper until all the florets are well coated and seasoned. Use two sheet pans if necessary, do not crowd the pan or the broccoli will steam (soft) instead of roast (crispy).
- Roast for 20 minutes or until the florets have crisped up nicely and the broccoli is cooked to your liking.
- For a little extra pizazz, toss with the optional garnishes or serve as is, it will be delicious either way!
