20 min

Ingredients

  • 8 cups fresh broccoli florets (1.5 lbs (24 oz broccoli) cut into bite-sized pieces.)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

  2. 2

    Grease a large baking sheet, set aside.

  3. 3

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

  4. 4

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

  5. 5

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

  6. 6

    Spread seasoned broccoli evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

  7. 7

    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)!

  8. 8

    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).

  9. 9

    Remove from oven and serve immediately.
