How to Make Garlic Roasted Broccoli
To start, just a small little bowl will do, and mix the oil and the seasonings together in it.
For the broccoli, you can buy the already-cut, broccoli florets, or you can buy the stalks and cut it yourself.
Just cut the broccoli stems off the big stalk, to create smaller broccoli pieces, easy for picking up with a fork and taking a bite. Place them in a plastic bag. (You can also put them in a bowl, and mix this way if you prefer.)
Pour the seasoned oil over the broccoli, seal the bag, and shake to try and coat all of the broccoli.
To avoid dirty dishes, cover cookie sheet (or baking pan) with aluminum foil and spray it with a non-stick spray.
Lay all of the broccoli out on to the foil, trying to make sure pieces don’t overlap. (This is so it will cook evenly.)
How Long to Bake Broccoli
Bake it at 425 degrees F, for 20 minutes (or longer if you like an even crispier broccoli — I sure do).
Enjoy this broccoli hot, right out of the oven. If you prefer, you can also sprinkle parmesan cheese over the broccoli or even a little black pepper, or include it in the seasoned oil before coating the broccoli.
Storage
If you have leftovers, allow the baked broccoli to fully cool and then store in a container, in the refrigerator and enjoy within 4-5 days.
Reheat: When reheating, you can warm the broccoli in the microwave or if you have an air fryer or even a toaster oven, this can help the broccoli remain a bit crispy, instead of soggy. You could also put it back in the oven but reheating at a lower temperature would be best so it doesn’t cook more and burn.
