Calories: 147kcal
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds broccoli
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 Tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan optional
Instructions
- Before you begin: Preheat your oven to 425º F (220º C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roasted broccoli
- Cut the head of broccoli into medium florets. Cut the tough outer layer off the stalk and slice the tender inside into pieces about the same size as the florets.
- Add the broccoli to a large bowl, drizzle with the olive oil, and sprinkle with the salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss until every piece looks glossy and well coated.
- Spread the broccoli in a single layer on the baking sheet with the flat sides down. If you double the recipe, use two sheet pans so the pan isn't crowded.
- Roast for about 20 minutes, until the undersides are golden brown and the edges are crisp. No need to flip.
- Serve right away, topped with Parmesan if desired.
Notes
Roasting at 400º F: Roast for about 25 minutes, until the flat sides are golden brown.
Air Fryer Instructions: Set it to 400º F, cook for 10 to 12 minutes, and shake once halfway through.
Make ahead: Cut the florets and stalk ahead of time and keep them in the fridge, then toss with oil and seasoning right before roasting.
Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350º F oven for 5 to 10 minutes, or in the air fryer for about 7 minutes.
