Ingredients
- 6 cups of broccoli florets
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.
- In a large bowl, toss broccoli florets with olive oil and sea salt. Then spread the broccoli florets in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Roast for 10 minutes until broccoli is charred, then flip the florets. Roast for 10 minutes until charred on the other side.
Notes
- Don’t crowd the baking sheet: If the florets are too close, they’ll steam. Use two pans if necessary and rotate/swap their position if needed.
- For maximum browning: Cut some or all the florets in half lengthwise so one side is flat to maximize the surface area in contact with the sheet pan (aka maximum browning!).
- Use a dark roasting pan: It will absorb more heat than lighter pans, browning and caramelizing the florets quicker than a light pan.
- Broil if necessary: If you want extra char and crispy edges. Monitor the broiled broccoli, though, to avoid overly burning it.
