Main Dish

Steps

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a mixing bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
Spread the seasoned broccoli on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and slightly crispy.
Serve hot as a main dish or as a side dish with your favorite protein.

Tips for Garlic Roasted Broccoli

Look for browned edges and vivid green florets; the smallest pieces may crisp sooner, so check them first.
Crowding traps steam and can leave the broccoli soft; use a roomy baking sheet if doubling the batch.
Mince the garlic finely and spread it among the florets to help prevent concentrated patches from browning too quickly.

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in a covered container and use within 3–4 days. Reheat until steaming hot; the florets may soften after storage.

Frequently asked questions

How can I tell when the broccoli is done?

The florets should be tender when pierced, with browned, slightly crisp edges.

Can I prepare this ahead?

For the best texture, roast it shortly before serving. You can wash and dry the broccoli and mince the garlic ahead, then refrigerate them separately.
