Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 5

If desired, add crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of spice, and mix once more.

Step 6

Spread the broccoli evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the florets are in a single layer for even roasting.

Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy, and the stalks are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 8

Serve immediately as a delightful low-carb side dish, perfect alongside any main course.
