Step 1

1. Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). (Some experts prefer 425°F for extra-crispy edges).

Step 2

2. Season: On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic until evenly coated. Spread them in a single layer—avoiding crowding ensures they roast rather than steam.

Step 3

3. Initial Roast: Bake for 15–20 minutes until the broccoli is tender and the edges start to brown.

Step 5

* For Pine Nuts/Walnuts: Sprinkle them over the broccoli for the final 5–10 minutes of roasting so they toast without burning.
