Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Broccoli
Start by rinsing the fresh broccoli under cold water to remove any dirt or pesticide residues. Cut the broccoli head into bite-sized florets, ensuring to include some of the stem for added flavor and texture.
- 2
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the broccoli. This high temperature will help to achieve a nice caramelization.

Mix Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, olive oil, minced garlic (you can mince it by chopping finely or using a garlic press), salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the broccoli is evenly coated with the oil and seasonings.

Roast the Broccoli
Spread the seasoned broccoli onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure the florets are not overcrowded to ensure even roasting. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the broccoli is tender.

Finishing Touches
Once the broccoli is done roasting, remove it from the oven and drizzle with fresh lemon juice for a zesty flavor boost. Toss the broccoli lightly to mix in the lemon juice.

Serve
Transfer the roasted broccoli to a serving dish and serve immediately as a side dish or as a healthy snack.
