Ingredients
- 2 heads broccoli
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Rinse the broccoli heads thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 3
Cut the broccoli into evenly sized florets, discarding the woody stem ends. If desired, peel and slice the remaining stem into half-inch pieces.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss until the broccoli is evenly coated with the seasonings.
Step 5
Spread the seasoned broccoli in a single layer on a large baking sheet, ensuring there is ample space between pieces for proper roasting.
Step 6
Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the broccoli florets are tender and the edges are browned and crispy. Stir halfway through cooking for even roasting.
Step 7
Remove the broccoli from the oven and transfer it to a serving dish.
Step 8
Drizzle the roasted broccoli with fresh lemon juice just before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
Step 9
Serve hot as a delicious side dish to your favorite paleo main courses.
