OVEN ROASTED BROCCOLI

Ingredients

8 cups fresh broccoli florets 1.5 lbs cut into bite-sized pieces.

¼ cup olive oil

1 tsp garlic powder

½ tsp sea salt

¼ tsp paprika

¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

• Grease a large baking sheet, set aside.

• In a small bowl mix together garlic powder, sea salt, paprika and black pepper. Set aside.

• Place broccoli pieces in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil and stir until evenly coated.

• Sprinkle half of the spice mixture over the broccoli, stir and repeat with the second half and stir until evenly distributed.

• Spread seasoned broccoli evenly on the prepared baking sheet.

• Roast at 450 degrees for 14- 15 minutes, or until the broccoli is nicely roasted, stirring once halfway through. (Note: the size you cut the florets into will effect the baking time smaller florets = shorter bake time, larger florets = longer bake time. So keep that in mind!

• If necessary, broil the broccoli for 1-2 minutes at the end of roasting time to crisp it up

• Remove from oven and serve immediately.
