Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 30 grams parmesan cheese, grated
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Step 2
Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets to ensure they roast well. Place the broccoli in a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Add olive oil to the bowl and toss the broccoli to coat it evenly.
Step 4
Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the broccoli. Toss again to distribute the seasonings.
Step 5
Spread the broccoli florets in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure they are not crowded, as this will help them roast evenly and develop a nice caramelization.
Step 6
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 15-20 minutes. Stir the broccoli halfway through the cooking time to ensure even roasting.
Step 7
Once the broccoli is tender and the edges are browned, remove them from the oven.
Step 8
Immediately sprinkle the roasted broccoli with lemon zest and grated parmesan cheese while still hot. Toss gently to combine.
Step 9
Serve the roasted broccoli warm as a delicious low-carb side dish.
