Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 450F.
Step 2
Trim off the end of the stem and peel the broccoli stem if needed. (If broccoli is freshly picked, it will probably not need peeling). Cut into bite-sized pieces. This size allows the broccoli to get a good sear without overcooking. Cut the stem into 2-inch lengths about 1/2 inch thick. Place cut broccoli in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper into the broccoli, lightly massaging in with your hands.
Step 3
Arrange broccoli in a single layer, on a sheet pan covered with parchment (optional, but makes for easy clean up).
Step 4
Bake for 15-20 minutes. The broccoli with continue to cook on the sheet pan, when you bring it out of the oven. Move immediately to a serving dish to keep it tender crisp.
Step 5
Serve warm as it or with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Check out additional serving suggestions in the notes.
Step 6
