Ingredients:

  • 1 large head of broccoli (about 500g / 1.1 lbs), cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (30ml)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (about 1 teaspoon)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt (3g)
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper (1g)
  • Optional: Red pepper flakes (to taste)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C / Gas Mark 6).
  2. Wash and dry the broccoli florets.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the broccoli with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Ensure the broccoli is evenly coated.
  4. Spread the broccoli florets in a single layer on the baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding.
  5. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp and slightly browned. Flip the broccoli halfway through for even cooking.
  6. Serve hot.
