Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound broccoli about a pound, rinsed, shake water off then cut into small florets
- 2 tablespoon Olive oil you can substitute avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt more or less, to taste
- Optional toppings - parmesan cheese grated or shredded, whatever you have at home
- A squeeze of fresh lemon on the cooked broccoli.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit
- Cut florets into bite-sized pieces. Some people peel the stalks/stems and cut them into ⅛ thick coins. I find this takes too much time and my family prefers just the broccoli florets.
- On a sheet pan, either use a silicone mat (like Silpat) or parchment paper to make cleanup easier.
- I pile the prepared broccoli florets and then drizzle the olive oil on broccoli. Mix gently to get most of the broccoli lightly covered with oil. Sprinkle garlic salt on broccoli and then gently mix. The garlic salt should be added after you've mixed the oil onto the broccoli so it sticks better.
- Spread out in your baking pan. Place into oven for 8-10 minutes.
- Watch closely the last few minutes. Some people like little to no char vs. other folks who like a good amount of char on the broccoli. I suggest if this is your first time trying oven-roasted broccoli, try it with less.
Notes
This broccoli is delicious with just the garlic salt on it. You certainly can just use salt and then mix some finely minced garlic. For the true garlic lover who always has garlic at home, that creates an extra garlicy flavored side.
My family also enjoys parmesan cheese sprinkled on the broccoli, right when it's pulled out of the oven. Use whatever kind you have at home (grated, shredded ...).
If you love fresh lemon, give this a quick squeeze of fresh lemon just prior to serving.
