Roasted Broccoli
Garlic-Chili Finishing (optional, GF)
Method
Roasted Broccoli
- 1
Preheat
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Position a rack in the center of the oven.
- 2
Prepare broccoli
Wash and thoroughly dry 1 lb fresh broccoli florets. Trim large stems so florets are bite-sized and have some stem attached for texture.
- 3
Toss with oil and seasoning
In a large bowl, toss the broccoli with 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, 1 tsp fine sea salt, 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper, and 1 tsp lemon zest until evenly coated.
- 4
Arrange on baking sheet
Spread the broccoli in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly oiled. Avoid overcrowding so pieces roast rather than steam.
- 5
Roast
Roast in the preheated oven for 15–18 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until edges are deeply caramelized and stems are tender when pierced with a fork. For extra char, broil 1–2 minutes at the end, watching closely to avoid burning.

Finish with lemon
Remove from oven, toss with 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste, and transfer to a serving dish.
Garlic-Chili Finishing (optional)
- 7
Toast almonds (if using)
In a small dry skillet over medium heat, toast 2 tbsp sliced almonds, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant, about 2–3 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
- 8
Quick garlic-chili sauté
In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp unsalted butter or extra 1 tbsp olive oil over medium-low heat. Add 2 thinly sliced garlic cloves and 1 tsp red pepper flakes. Cook gently, stirring, for 45–60 seconds until garlic is fragrant and just starting to turn golden (do not burn). Remove from heat immediately.
