Ingredients

  • 14 oz broccoli
  • 2 tbs olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper
  • zest of one lemon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°.
  • Chop broccoli into even florets. Peel and chop stems along with florets, making them a little smaller so they will cook through.
  • Spread broccoli on sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and lemon zest. Toss everything together using your hands, taking care to coat all of the broccoli with oil. Spread evenly on the pan, allowing the broccoli to have some space between pieces to allow for browning.
  • Roast the broccoli in a preheated oven for about 20 minutes or just until the stems are just tender, but still slightly crisp and the tips are beginning to caramelize.
