Ingredients
Scale
Broccoli
- 10 oz frozen broccoli florets
Seasonings
- Olive oil spray
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Garlic powder, to taste
- Onion powder, to taste
Optional Toppings
- Parmesan cheese, for sprinkling
- Nutritional yeast, for a dairy-free option
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 420 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare it for roasting the broccoli.
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Arrange the broccoli: Take the frozen broccoli florets straight from the freezer and spread them evenly in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Coat with olive oil: Spray the frozen broccoli evenly with olive oil spray to help the seasonings stick and promote crispiness.
- Season: Sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder evenly over the broccoli. There’s no need to toss or stir as the broccoli will roast with the seasoning on top.
- Roast the broccoli: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the broccoli for 15 to 20 minutes at 420 degrees, stirring once or twice during the cooking process. Roast until the broccoli reaches your desired level of crispness.
- Add optional toppings: After removing the broccoli from the oven, sprinkle with parmesan cheese for a savory touch, or use nutritional yeast if you prefer a dairy-free option.
- Serve: Serve immediately to enjoy the broccoli at its crispiest and most flavorful.
Notes
- Do not thaw the broccoli before roasting; roasting from frozen helps achieve a crispy texture.
- Adjust roasting time depending on your oven and desired crispiness.
- Optional toppings add flavor but are not required.
- This recipe is quick and perfect as a healthy side dish.
