How Long to Roast Broccoli at 400
This is a very simple recipe with just a few ingredients. Follow the step by step and you will have everything ready in less than 1 hour.
Ingredients
- 1 kg (35 oz) Regular or Romanesco Broccoli (preferably not frozen)
- 7 oz Goat cheese
- 4 Gloves of garlic, chopped
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Sea salt
- 1 Lemon (halved)
- Fresh parsley
- White pepper (ground)
Instructions
- Wash the broccoli in cold water a few hours before roasting and let it dry completely. Dry broccoli roasts much better.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the leaves and set them aside. With the knife, cut the broccoli into roughly the same-size florets, leaving as long stems as possible, almost cutting at the main stem to get an elegant shape.
- Place the florets onto the baking sheet at an even distance from each other, leaving some space between each of them.
- Sprinkle them with olive oil, salt, white pepper, fresh parsley, chopped garlic, and the cut leaves of the broccoli you set aside beforehand.
- Squeeze one-half of the lemon juice all over them. Grind the goat cheese with your fingers onto the broccoli florets.
- Place the other half of the lemon on the baking sheet.
- Roast them at 400 degrees for 35 minutes, until brown and golden.
- Remove them from the oven, and after it slightly cools down, squeeze the roasted lemon juices all over the broccoli. Serve them fresh.
