Quick Roasted Broccoli

Prep Time 8 minutes
Cook Time 18 minutes
Total Time 26 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large heads broccoli cut into even-sized florets (about 6 cups)
  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Pat the broccoli florets completely dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the broccoli with oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes if using until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the broccoli in a single layer on the baking sheet, making sure the florets have space between them for maximum crispiness.
  5. Roast for 18-20 minutes until the edges are crispy and charred and the stems are tender when pierced with a fork.
  6. Remove from the oven and serve immediately, optionally with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
