Ingredients
  

  • 8 cups fresh broccoli florets (1.5 pounds (24 ounces broccoli) cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Grease a large baking sheet and set it aside.
  3. Combine the garlic powder, sea salt, paprika, and black pepper in a small bowl and set aside.
  4. Place the broccoli pieces in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and toss until evenly coated.
  5. Sprinkle half of the spice mixture over the broccoli and stir, then repeat with the remaining half until evenly distributed.
  6. Spread the seasoned broccoli in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Roast at 450°F for 14 to 15 minutes or until nicely roasted, stirring once halfway through; adjust the baking time based on the size of the florets.
  8. Broil the broccoli for 1 to 2 minutes at the end of the roasting time if additional crisping is needed, particularly when using frozen broccoli.
  9. Remove the pan from the oven and serve immediately.

Notes

To Use Frozen Broccoli
  1. Spread out the frozen broccoli in an even layer on the baking sheet, then put it in the preheated oven for 1-2 minutes until it’s warm but it isn’t roasting. 
  2. Once it’s warm, remove the broccoli from the oven and drizzle it with olive oil and stir. 
  3. Then add the spices and stir to coat. 
  4. Return to the oven and roast according to the recipe instructions. 
Ingredient Substitution Notes
  • Broccoli Florets. Trim fresh broccoli and use the tops (called florets) in this recipe. You can also use frozen broccoli florets with great results.
  • Olive Oil. Avocado oil is a good substitute for olive oil.
  • Garlic Powder. I suggest using powdered garlic because it coats the broccoli and gives it a crispy texture. Minced garlic can be used instead.
  • Paprika. My favorite is smoked paprika, but any variety works well.
  • Black pepper. Use freshly ground black pepper for the best flavor.
Store
Store roasted broccoli in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. 
Reheat
There are two ways to re-heat roasted broccoli: 
  1. Warm it in the microwave. This method will heat it up but will not re-crisp it. It’s the easiest and quickest way to reheat.
  2. In the oven. If I have the time, I like to reheat this broccoli recipe in the oven. Simply preheat the oven to 375 degrees F, place the oven on a small baking sheet or in a small baking pan, and heat until it’s warmed through and crispy (usually 4-5 minutes).
