Ingredients
To make our Favorite Broccoli, you’ll need:
- 1 head of fresh broccoli, cut into florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: red pepper flakes for a kick of heat
Recipe Directions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned broccoli in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring that the florets are not overcrowded.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and slightly caramelized, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Once roasted to perfection, remove the broccoli from the oven and sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired.
- Serve hot as a side dish or incorporate into your favorite recipes for an extra burst of flavor and nutrition.
