Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Step 2
Wash and pat dry the broccoli florets. Make sure they are evenly sized for consistent roasting.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, toss the broccoli with the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the broccoli out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the pieces are not overcrowded for optimal roasting.
Step 5
Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly crisped on the edges.
Step 6
Remove the tray from the oven and immediately sprinkle the roasted broccoli with grated Parmesan cheese, allowing the residual heat to melt it slightly.
Step 7
If desired, drizzle with a splash of lemon juice for added brightness.
Step 8
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own as a healthy snack.
