  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.

  7. Roast the Broccoli:
  8. Spread the seasoned florets in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded.
  9. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the broccoli is tender and the edges are crispy and browned.
