Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the Oven - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). A hot oven is crucial for achieving that perfect roasted texture.
- Step 2: Prepare the Broccoli - Wash and cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Make sure they are evenly sized to ensure even roasting.
- Step 3: Season the Broccoli - In a mixing bowl, add the broccoli florets, salt, and garlic powder. Drizzle with olive oil and toss well until the broccoli is evenly coated.
- Step 4: Roast the Broccoli - Spread the seasoned broccoli florets in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and slightly crispy at the edges.
- Step 5: Add Cheese - Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the roasted broccoli. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Step 6: Serve and Enjoy - Once the cheese is melted, take the dish out of the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice just before serving.
- If you prefer your broccoli softer, extend the roasting time before adding cheese.
- For a spicy kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes over the cheese before baking.
