This herby garlic roasted broccoli will be your new go-to roasted vegetable! It’s flavorful, perfectly tender yet crispy, and is a great side for just about any meal! Pair it with chicken, salmon, cod, burgers, nourish bowls… you name it!
How to cut broccoli florets
The best roasted broccoli is when you cut the florets into smaller pieces, rather than leaving them whole. This is because the broccoli more easily gets more tender while the outside gets perfectly crispy.
I always cut mine into small, bite sized pieces, which would be about 1 inch. You can do larger, just keep in mind it’ll take longer to bake, or you can increase the oven temperature to 400ºF.
Can I use another oil?
Absolutely! I call for olive oil in this recipe, but you can also use avocado oil, coconut oil, butter, ghee, etc.
Can I bake at a higher temperature?
Yes, if you want, you can bake at 400ºF instead. Keep in mind it’ll take less time! I do not recommend baking at higher than 400ºF unless you use coconut oil, butter, ghee, or red palm oil because avocado oil and olive oil do not have as much heat tolerance. You can read my post here about oils and heat tolerance.
