Description

You can’t go wrong with this simple, Roasted Broccoli recipe. It goes with everything and you’ll come back to it once a week since everybody loves it. This roasted broccoli is proof that simple food can be incredibly satisfying with no fancy tricks, just good olive oil, a little seasoning, and the power of high heat. Good luck getting this to the table before it’s devoured!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 heads of broccoli (with the stem)
  • 3-4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. 
  2. Separate the stem from the broccoli head and cut the head into florets. Trim any brown spots off the stem, then cut it into 1 inch pieces. 
  3. Add all the florets and stem pieces onto the baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Use your hands to massage the oil and spices into the broccoli until it’s really well coated. 
  4. Spread into one single layer and roast for 30-40 minutes until the stems are fork tender and the broccoli begins to crisp.
