Ingredients:

  • 1 lb frozen broccoli florets, uncooked
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
  • A pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the frozen broccoli florets directly into a large mixing bowl.
  3. Drizzle the broccoli with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; toss quickly to coat without letting the vegetables thaw.
  4. Spread the florets onto the baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching to allow for maximum airflow.
  5. Roast for 15–20 minutes until the edges turn a deep mahogany brown and the stems are tender when pierced with a fork.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and drizzle with fresh lemon juice.
  7. Toss one last time on the pan to incorporate the flavors and serve.
