Ingredients

12 ounces broccoli crowns or pre-chopped florets
extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
⅛-¼ garlic powder (optional)
salt and pepper to taste

OPTIONAL EXTRAS

grated parmesan cheese
fresh squeezed lemon juice and zest
sweet paprika or spicy ground cayenne pepper

Instructions

Chop and break off broccoli into florets if using broccoli crowns. Wash and dry thoroughly.
Preheat the oven to 400°F and add the broccoli florets to a baking sheet.
Drizzle broccoli with olive oil Mix well and spread out, spaced, so each little piece has some room to get crispy on the edges.
Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. I typically add around ¼ tsp each of sea salt and garlic powder and around ⅛-¼ black pepper.
Roast 15 to 20 minutes or until the edges are browned to your liking. Smaller florets will cook faster and larger pieces will take a little longer. Adjust as needed.
