Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I preheat my oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature is key to getting that lovely roasted flavor. While the oven heats up, I wash and cut my broccoli into bite-sized florets. I love the medley of shapes and sizes since it gives the dish character. Then, in a mixing bowl, I toss the florets with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder if I’m in the mood for an extra kick. Everything should be coated nicely.
