Tips
- Make sure your broccoli florets are roughly the same size, so they cook evenly.
- Don’t crowd the baking sheet — the broccoli might steam if it is crowded (and probably get a little mushy) instead of roast.
- If you want a little extra flavor, consider some adding grated parmesan cheese or lemon juice before serving.
- Go easy on the salt — a little goes a long way. Too much sodium in your diet can be bad for your health.
- I never have leftovers, and I think they may get mushy when reheated, but I'm sure you could store in an airtight container — not for too long — maybe a day or two.
