\"Roasted<\/p>\n

Do you have any favorite broccoli recipes? I love it in just about anything – broccoli salad<\/a>, frittatas<\/a>, pasta<\/a>, etc. – but my favorite way to eat broccoli might be the simplest: roasted!<\/p>\n

Roasted broccoli is so easy to make, and the florets come out of the oven deliciously golden brown, crisp, and tender. I have a hard time not eating them all straight off the sheet pan, but they’re also a fantastic addition to all sorts of recipes and a yummy side dish on their own.<\/p>\n

If you love roasted broccoli as much as I do, read on to find my foolproof method for how to roast it, along with a slew of serving suggestions to make it flavorful, filling, and absolutely irresistible. Happy roasting!<\/p>\n

How to Roast Broccoli<\/h2>\n

Making perfect roasted broccoli couldn’t be easier! Here’s what you need to do:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. First, preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.<\/li>\n
  2. While the oven warms up, break a head of broccoli into evenly sized florets. Spread them on the baking sheet in a single layer.<\/li>\n
  3. Toss the broccoli florets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer them to the hot oven and bake for 15 to 22 minutes, until the florets are browned and crisp around the edges.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That’s it! You can also roast lemon halves along with the broccoli. Right when they come out of the oven, squeeze the roasted lemon juice over the florets. Then, finish them with a big sprinkle of red pepper flakes. Serve warm, and enjoy!<\/p>\n
