Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the broccoli: Place the broccoli florets on the sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic powder if using. Toss to coat evenly, then spread the florets in a single layer with space between them.
Roast the broccoli: Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are browned and crispy.
Finish and serve: Remove from the oven and squeeze lemon juice over the broccoli if desired. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving for extra flavor.

Notes

Make sure the broccoli is dry before roasting to achieve the best crispiness.
Add red pepper flakes for heat, or toss with balsamic glaze after roasting for a tangy finish.
