This recipe shows you how to make perfectly roasted broccoli with bright lemon flavor and savory garlic. It is a simple, quick side dish for any weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head broccoli, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Place the broccoli florets on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  4. Pour the oil mixture over the broccoli and toss well until every piece is evenly coated. Spread the broccoli in a single layer on the baking sheet. This step helps you achieve crispy roasted broccoli.
  5. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the edges are slightly browned and tender-crisp.
  6. Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Immediately drizzle with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with lemon zest.
  7. Toss gently and serve this flavorful roasted broccoli right away.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, make sure the broccoli florets are dry before tossing them with the oil.
  • If you like a stronger garlic flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder along with the fresh garlic.
  • This recipe works well as an easy roasted vegetable side dish.
