Simple Roasted Broccoli, Done Right

Broccoli and microgreens

A good roasted broccoli doesn't need much — just high heat and enough space on the pan for real browning.

Ingredients

  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • Juice of half a lemon

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Toss florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a sheet pan, spread in a single layer.
  3. Roast 18-20 minutes, tossing once, until edges are browned and crisp.
  4. Scatter garlic over the pan in the last 3 minutes of roasting.
  5. Finish with lemon juice right before serving.
