Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1 pound broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8-1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
- Dry your broccoli extremely well using paper towels or a salad spinner. The dryer the broccoli the crispier it will get!
- Trim florets to a uniform size then add to prepared pan and drizzle with olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic/garlic powder. Toss until evenly coated. Line in a single layer.
- Roast for 12-15 minutes if adding Parmesan or 15-18 if not adding Parmesan (because the broccoli will go back in the oven) OR until broccoli reaches desired crisp-tenderness.
- Sprinkle with Parmesan. Broil until Parmesan is melted, approximately 3-5 minutes. Continue to broil if desired for crispier or more charred florets. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste if desired.
