- Kosher Salt to taste
- Black Pepper freshly ground, to taste
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest

Instructions
- Set your oven to 425°F (220°C) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the ingredients.
- Wash and cut the broccoli into evenly sized florets. Make sure to thoroughly dry the florets before proceeding to the next step.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, minced garlic, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Make sure all the florets are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Spread the seasoned broccoli florets on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure to arrange it in a single layer for even roasting.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and their edges are golden brown. Toss the broccoli halfway through roasting to ensure even cooking.

- Serve the oven-roasted broccoli hot alongside your choice of main courses.
