Equipment
- 1 Sheet pan
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1 large head fresh broccoli, chopped into florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Wash and dry the 1 large head of broccoli. Cut into even-sized florets.
- Place broccoli on the prepared sheet pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon ground black pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Spread in a single layer without overcrowding.
- Roast for 15 minutes, then toss. Roast another 10 to 15 minutes until golden and crisp on the edges.
- Remove from the oven and serve warm or store and reheat later. Enjoy!
Notes
- Dry the broccoli well. Too much moisture = steamed, not roasted.
- Cut florets evenly. They’ll cook more consistently.
- Give it space. Crowding the pan traps steam and prevents browning.
- Use a hot oven. 400°F is ideal for crispy edges.
- Toss halfway. This helps the broccoli brown evenly.
