Ingredients
- 1 lb broccoli crowns
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Wash the broccoli crowns and cut them into bite-sized florets. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the broccoli is evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the seasoned broccoli florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for optimal roasting.
Step 5
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 18-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the broccoli is tender and slightly crisp around the edges.
Step 6
Remove the roasted broccoli from the oven and drizzle with fresh lemon juice. Toss lightly to distribute the flavor.
Step 7
Transfer the broccoli to a serving dish and serve hot. Enjoy as a side dish or snack!
