Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F). Cut the broccoli into florets, rinse them in a colander, and let them dry.
Place the florets in a large bowl, add the olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic, and toss well. Spread the seasoned broccoli on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast for about 7 minutes, then remove the baking sheet and turn the florets over. Roast for another 8 minutes, or until the broccoli is nicely browned.
Drizzle the roasted broccoli evenly with lemon juice and sprinkle lightly with sweet paprika.
Serve as a side dish or a vegetarian main course.

Tip: Halve larger florets lengthwise and place them cut-side down on the baking sheet so the flat surfaces brown nicely. Chop the garlic coarsely, as small pieces can easily burn on the baking sheet.
