Ingredients:

  • 1 lb frozen broccoli florets
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Place an empty baking sheet inside the oven while it preheats to ensure the pan is scorching hot.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen broccoli florets, olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss vigorously until every floret is evenly coated.
  3. Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and spread the broccoli in a single layer, ensuring florets are not touching.
  4. Roast for 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven, flip the florets with a spatula, and return to the oven for another 8-10 minutes until edges are deep golden-brown.
  5. If using Parmesan, sprinkle the cheese over the broccoli during the last 3 minutes of roasting. Remove once the cheese is melted and bubbling.
