1-Getting started: Getting started with roasted broccoli is straightforward and fun just follow these simple steps for great results. First, preheat your oven to 400°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to make cleanup easy. Then, break the broccoli head into evenly sized florets and spread them in a single layer on the baking sheet.

2-Toss the florets: Toss the florets with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper to coat them well, which helps bring out that crispy texture. Roast for 15 to 22 minutes, or until the edges turn browned and crisp, flipping halfway if you like for even cooking. If you’re using lemon halves, roast them alongside and squeeze their juice over the broccoli right after it’s out of the oven for a bright finish. Serve warm and consider adding red pepper flakes or other toppings to make it your own.
