Ingredients

• 4 cups broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 piece lemon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Step 2

Rinse and dry the broccoli florets and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Peel and mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the bowl with the broccoli.

Step 4

Drizzle the olive oil over the broccoli and garlic, ensuring they are lightly coated.

Step 5

Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice of one half over the broccoli. Reserve the other half for optional garnish slices.

Step 6

Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the broccoli, then toss everything together until the florets are evenly coated.

Step 7

Spread the broccoli evenly on the prepared baking sheet, avoiding overcrowding to ensure even roasting.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges of the broccoli are crispy and the stems are tender.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and, if desired, slice the reserved lemon half and garnish the baked broccoli before serving.
