How to Roast Broccoli in the Oven
To make this dish, first preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
Then, place the broccoli in a large mixing bowl. I used a bag of organic, pre-chopped broccoli. If yours isn’t pre-cut, then cut the broccoli before placing it in the mixing bowl.
Next, add the avocado oil and lemon juice. Use your hands or tongs to thoroughly coat the broccoli.
Then, sprinkle on the chopped rosemary and salt. Mix until well coated.
Spread the broccoli out on a baking sheet so that none of the pieces are overlapping.
Lastly, place the broccoli in the oven and bake at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes.
It’s best served warm, right after baking. However, it can be cooked ahead of time and eaten as a meal prep option.
What to Eat with Roasted Broccoli
This broccoli is tasty enough to be eaten plain. However, dipping it in a sauce or mashed avocado (like I did) is never a bad idea either.
A few ideas for what to eat with this side dish include:
It could also be eaten as a breakfast item. For instance, alongside an omelet, fried eggs, bacon, sausage or breakfast tacos.
Enjoy!
