- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes optional
- 1 tbsp lemon juice optional
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, toss broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Spread broccoli evenly on the baking sheet in a single layer.

Notes
Don’t overcrowd the pan for maximum crispiness. Add a splash of balsamic vinegar or chili flakes for extra flavor. Frozen broccoli can work—just roast a few extra minutes.
