Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes optional

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Spread the broccoli florets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with sea salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly and arrange in a single layer.
  3. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 to 22 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and the edges are crisped to your liking. For a spicy kick, sprinkle with red pepper flakes after roasting.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftover roasted broccoli in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Simply reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
  • Freezing: You can freeze roasted broccoli, but it’s best to do so before adding the seasoning. It can be stored in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months.
  • Pairing: This dish pairs beautifully with grilled chicken, fish, or even quinoa. It can be a colorful addition to any plate.
  • Mixing Veggies: Don’t limit yourself to just broccoli. Roasting a mix of vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, and zucchini can create a vibrant medley.
  • Try Different Oils: While olive oil is a classic choice, experimenting with avocado or sesame oil can add unique flavors.
