Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Make sure the broccoli florets are roughly 1 inch wide, and arrange them in an even layer on the baking sheet.

Drizzle the broccoli with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper.

Use a rubber spatula to toss the broccoli until it is evenly coated in the oil.

Roast on middle rack of oven, stirring halfway through cook time, until the broccoli is crisp-tender and slightly charred, 22-25 minutes.

Check to see that broccoli is done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Floret Sizing 🥦
Cut broccoli florets into uniform, bite-sized pieces to ensure even roasting and consistent caramelization across all pieces.
Moisture Matters 💧
Pat broccoli florets completely dry with paper towels before roasting to achieve maximum crispiness and prevent steaming.
High Heat Magic 🔥
Roast broccoli at 425-450°F to create delicious crispy edges and develop a rich, nutty caramelized flavor.
Olive Oil Technique 🫒
Toss broccoli in extra-virgin olive oil using your hands to ensure each floret is evenly and lightly coated for optimal roasting.
Seasoning Strategy 🧂
Season broccoli just before roasting and add a pinch of flaky sea salt after roasting for enhanced texture and flavor complexity.
