Roasted Broccoli

  • 1.5 lbs fresh broccoli, cut into bite size pieces, the stem is delicious too!

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp sea salt

  • ¼ tsp paprika

  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

INSTRUCTIONS 

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

  • Grease a large baking sheet, set aside.

  • In a small bowl mix together garlic powder, sea salt, paprika and black pepper. Set aside.

  • Place broccoli pieces in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil and stir until evenly coated.

  • Sprinkle half of the spice mixture over the broccoli, stir and repeat with the second half and stir until evenly distributed.

  • Spread seasoned broccoli evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

  • Roast at 450 degrees for 14- 15 minutes, or until the broccoli is nicely roasted, stirring once halfway through. (Note: the size you cut the florets into will effect the baking time (smaller florets = shorter bake time, larger florets = longer bake time). So keep that in mind)!

  • If necessary, broil the broccoli for 1-2 minutes at the end of roasting time to crisp it up (I find this is only necessary if using frozen broccoli).

  • Remove from oven and serve immediately.
