Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 pound broccoli florets ((or about 4 cups florets chopped off of a head of broccoli))
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, fresh lemon juice, sesame seeds, grated Parmesan, and/or shredded cheese ((optional))

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Place the broccoli onto a rimmed baking sheet and toss with the olive oil, coating and mixing well until all of the florets are a little shiny and coated with oil.
  • Roast for 16-18 minutes or until tender when poked with a knife, lightly browned and slightly crispy around the edges. Add grated Parmesan cheese for the last two minutes, if desired.
  • Sprinkle with salt, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, sesame seeds, and/or additional grated or shredded cheese as desired to serve.
  • To make with frozen broccoli, add a 16 ounces of frozen broccoli florets to the baking sheet. Spread out. Roast for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, toss with the olive oil using a pair of tongs, and roast for an additional 10-12 minutes. Add grated Parmesan cheese for the last two minutes, if desired. (Roasted frozen broccoli is a little softer, but is just as delicious.)
