Ingredients

1 head broccoli 1-1.5 pounds, cut into florets
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic peeled and minced
¼ teaspoon dried garlic powder or more to taste
½ teaspoon salt
ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Prep: Heat oven to 425°F and line a sheet pan with aluminum foil (or spray with cooking spray, broccoli roasts better but it will be harder to clean).
Season broccoli: Place 1 head broccoli in florets in a large mixing bowl. Combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, 3 cloves garlic, ¼ teaspoon dried garlic powder, ½ teaspoon salt and ground black pepper in a small bowl. Pour over broccoli and toss to coat evenly.
Roast: Spread broccoli on prepared sheet pan (do not overcrowd pan, or broccoli will turn out soggy). Roast at 425°F for 15-20 minutes, or until broccoli is tender and slightly charred. Serve immedietaly.

Notes

Ingredient notes

Broccoli: I would highly recommend using fresh broccoli here for the best texture. Pre-cut bagged is fine. Frozen can work if you defrost it first, but the texture will be a little different from fresh.
Oil: Olive oil is my personal preference in this recipe, but vegetable oil works just fine.
Minced garlic: If you’re out of garlic or just don’t want to bother with mincing, double or triple the garlic powder and skip the fresh.

Recipe tips

Broccoli: Cut the florets into even sizes. I usually cut large florets in half lengthwise, this way they cook more evenly and you won’t end up with a pan of differently cooked vegetables.
Seasoning variations: Feel free to change up the seasoning to your taste. Some lemon juice or lemon zest is really nice with the garlic. So is grated parmesan sprinkled on after roasting!
Roasting time: The roasting time will depend on the size of your florets and your exact oven. Make sure to watch your broccoli once it’s been in the oven for about 10 minutes, to make sure it comes out perfectly.
Store leftovers in a covered dish in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 425°F for 5-8 minutes, until fully heated and crisped up again.
