How to Make Roasted Broccoli
- Start by preheating your oven to 425°F, and grabbing a large sheet pan. Cut the broccoli into small, bite-sized florets. Then give them a good rinse. Make sure to dry them well with paper towels and remove as much moisture as possible.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the broccoli, oil, and walnuts. Toss everything together or use your hands to mix.
- Spread the ingredients evenly on a the pan, and bake for 12-15 minutes. The broccoli should be browned around the edges and caramelized when done.
- Serve while hot and add salt and pepper to taste. Serve it alongside shrimp orzo for an easy seafood dinner.
Tips and Variations:
- Be sure to dry the broccoli completely or it will steam, not roast.
- If the dish cooks too long, the walnuts will burn. Keep an eye on the time, or better yet, set an oven timer.
- Grated parmesan as a topping adds another layer of flavor to oven roasted broccoli.
- Finely minced garlic and Panko bread crumbs are other great additions. When possible, place the add-ins (garlic, nuts, pepper flakes, etc.) over the top of the broccoli to help prevent burning.
