Ingredients:

  • 1 lb broccoli florets, cut into equal-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Note: Let it fully reach temp so the sizzle starts immediately.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the 1 lb (450g) broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Mix until every floret is evenly coated. Note: Use your hands to get oil into the tight florets.
  4. Spread the florets on a large rimmed baking sheet in a single layer.
  5. Ensure at least 1 inch of space between pieces. Note: This prevents them from steaming each other.
  6. Place the pan on the center rack of the oven.
  7. Roast for 18-22 minutes.
  8. Remove from the oven until the tips are charred mahogany and the stalks are fork tender.
