Ingredients

• 500 grams broccoli florets
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

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 and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets. Cut larger florets into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth to create the tangy dressing.

Step 4

Add the broccoli florets to the bowl with the tangy dressing and toss gently but thoroughly, ensuring each floret is evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the broccoli evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding for crispy results.

Step 6

Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the florets are tender and have golden, crispy edges.

Step 7

If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the hot broccoli immediately after removing it from the oven for an extra layer of flavor.

Step 8

Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy as a healthy snack. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice, if needed.
