Perfectly Roasted Broccoli with Olive Oil and Spice

Ingredients

- 1 large head of broccoli
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F. Position your oven rack in the middle position for optimal roasting.

2. Prepare the Broccoli
While the oven heats, cut the broccoli into florets, ensuring pieces are roughly similar in size for even cooking. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with a clean towel.

3. Season the Broccoli
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry broccoli florets. Drizzle the olive oil over them, and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Toss the florets thoroughly until each piece is evenly coated with oil and seasoning.

4. Arrange on Baking Sheet
Spread the seasoned broccoli florets in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan to allow proper roasting.

5. Roast the Broccoli
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast the broccoli for 18-20 minutes, or until they are tender and golden-brown edges appear. Midway through, around 10 minutes in, flip the florets to ensure even roasting.

6. Serve and Enjoy
Remove the broccoli from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These make a delightful, healthy snack any time of day!
