This is the best oven-roasted broccoli recipe! This easy roasted broccoli is made with 6 ingredients in 15 minutes! It's crispy, tender and perfectly seasoned. Baked broccoli is a healthy side dish that pairs well with your favorite dinner recipes.
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 need a shorter bake time, larger florets need a longer bake time).
If necessary, broil the broccoli for 1-2 minutes at the end of roasting time to crisp it up (I find this is only necessary if using frozen broccoli).
Remove from oven and serve immediately.

Notes
To Use Frozen Broccoli
Spread out the frozen broccoli in an even layer on the baking sheet, then put it in the preheated oven for 1-2 minutes until it's warm but it isn't roasting.
Once it's warm, remove the broccoli from the oven and drizzle it with olive oil and stir.
Then add the spices and stir to coat.
Return to the oven and roast according to the recipe instructions.
Ingredient Substitution Notes
Broccoli Florets. Trim fresh broccoli and use the tops (called florets) in this recipe. You can also use frozen broccoli florets with great results.
Olive Oil. Avocado oil is a good substitute for olive oil.
Garlic Powder. I suggest using powdered garlic because it coats the broccoli and gives it a crispy texture. Minced garlic can be used instead.
Paprika. My favorite is smoked paprika, but any variety works well.
Black pepper. Use freshly ground black pepper for the best flavor.
StoreStore roasted broccoli in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. ReheatThere are two ways to re-heat roasted broccoli:
Warm it in the microwave. This method will heat it up but will not re-crisp it. It's the easiest and quickest way to reheat.
In the oven. If I have the time, I like to reheat this broccoli recipe in the oven. Simply preheat the oven to 375 degrees F, place the oven on a small baking sheet or in a small baking pan, and heat until it's warmed through and crispy (usually 4-5 minutes).
