Oven Roasted Broccoli (Baked Broccoli)

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Step 2

Grease a large baking sheet, set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

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

Step 5

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

Step 6

Spread seasoned broccoli evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 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)!

Step 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).

Step 9

Remove from oven and serve immediately.
