​Directions​
Making perfect roasted broccoli couldn’t be easier! Here’s what you need to do:

1. First, preheat the oven to 400°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. While the oven warms up, wash, thoroughly dry, then break a head of broccoli into evenly sized florets.
3. Spread them evenly on the baking sheet in a single layer, add lime or lemon halves.
4. Toss the broccoli florets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
5. Transfer them to the hot oven and bake for 15 to 22 minutes, until the florets are browned and crisp around the edges.
6. When they come out of the oven, squeeze the roasted citrus juice over the florets.
7. Finish them with a big sprinkle of red pepper flakes. You can drizzle a tiny bit more oil over the top if you like.
8. Serve warm, and enjoy!
