Oven Baked Broccoli Tips

• Don’t skip breaking up the broccoli into even pieces. This helps to make sure that it roasts evenly. That way you’ll end up with nice crispy edges on all your pieces.
• You don’t have to use spray oil, but it coats your broccoli more evenly. You can use regular oil and evenly rub it around if needed.
• You can also add parmesan or lemon to jazz it up a little!

Storing and Reheating Roasted Broccoli in Oven

Allow the broccoli to cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It loses its crispness in the refrigerator so we recommend reheating it in the air fryer or oven for best results.
