A delightful twist on roasted broccoli, adding a touch of garlic and zest for a flavorful side dish.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and crispy edges.
In a mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the broccoli is evenly coated.
Use your hands to mix for better coating.
Spread the broccoli mixture onto a baking sheet in a single layer.
Avoid overcrowding to ensure proper roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and slightly charred.
Check halfway through and stir for even cooking.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with lemon zest. Serve immediately.
Adding zest while hot enhances the aroma and flavor.
