Ingredients

  • 1 pound baby broccoli
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  • Wash the baby broccoli thoroughly and pat it dry with a kitchen towel. Trim off any tough ends if necessary.
  • In a large bowl, or on the prepared baking sheet, toss the baby broccoli with olive oil, ensuring that each piece is coated evenly. You can use your hands or a spoon to mix them together.
  • Arrange the baby broccoli in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. You can add other seasonings like garlic powder or lemon zest if desired.
  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 15-20 minutes, or until the baby broccoli is tender and slightly browned. You can flip them halfway through the cooking time for more even browning.
  • Once roasted to your liking, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the baby broccoli cool for a few minutes before serving.
  • Serve the roasted baby broccoli as a side dish or a healthy snack. They pair well with a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired.
