Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • canola oil spray or 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425° F.
  2. Place the broccoli on a baking sheet (foil-covered if you want to make clean up easier).
  3. Spray the broccoli with canola oil or drizzle with olive oil, tossing to coat and sprinkle with salt, pepper, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes.
  4. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until broccoli is crisp.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy the crunch!

Notes

- For extra crispiness, ensure your broccoli florets are completely dry before tossing with oil and seasonings. Pat them with a paper towel if needed.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet; give the broccoli space so it can roast evenly and crisp up instead of steaming.
- Roasting at 425°F (220°C) is essential for that perfect crispy texture. Lower temperatures will result in softer broccoli.
- Store leftover crispy broccoli in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to regain some crispness.
