HOW TO MAKE KETO BROCCOLI WITH GARLIC:
- Wash and dry the broccoli thoroughly. Cut the broccoli florets into relatively uniform bite-sized pieces.
- Preheat oven to 400 F.
- Cut into medium-sized spears.
- Coat broccoli with olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Feel free to add red pepper chili flakes, grated Parmesan or any other herbs or seasonings you like.
- Spread onto a large baking sheet in a single layer – being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Feel free to line your baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easier clean up.
- Bake for 22-25 minutes or until tender and caramelized. I like to wait until the edges are brown with some burnt edges – SO good!! Serve and enjoy.
TIPS FOR MAKING THE BEST LOW CARB BROCCOLI:
Roasting broccoli couldn’t be easier and I find it brings out the best flavor. But in case you still have questions, here are a few key tips to help baked broccoli taste amazing:
- DRY your broccoli thoroughly after washing – use a salad spinner or pat it down with paper towels
- Do NOT overcrowd the pan – it’s important to spread the broccoli out into a single layer on the pan – use two pans if you must otherwise, you’ll end up steaming your broccoli and won’t get those crispy char edges which is what we want
- High heat – crank up your oven temperature to at least 400 F so your broccoli cooks up tender with caramelized edges
- Shake and rotate the pan – you can also use a spatula to flip each piece for even cooking
