1 lb broccoli florets
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp Dijon mustard (verify GF) Shop
0.5 tsp salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
1 clove garlic, minced (optional)

Instructions

1 Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Ensure your broccoli florets are dry; excess moisture can prevent them from crisping up properly.
2 In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic (if using) until well combined. This creates a flavorful coating for the broccoli.
3 Place the dry broccoli florets in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the prepared dressing over the broccoli. Toss gently with your hands or a spatula to ensure each floret is evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
4 Spread the coated broccoli florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding the pan, as this will steam the broccoli instead of roasting it, preventing it from becoming crispy. Roast for approximately 18-20 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp and the edges are nicely browned and slightly charred.
5 Once roasted to perfection, remove the baking sheet from the oven. The broccoli should be fragrant and have a delightful tender-crisp texture. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving immediately as a delicious side dish.

Tips & Notes

Cut the florets so each has a flat side and lay them flat-side down. More contact with the pan means better browning.
Peel the broccoli stems, slice them into coins and roast them alongside the florets. They turn sweet and tender.
The Dijon coating can darken quickly. If the florets brown too fast, lower the oven to 375°F for the last few minutes.
