Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread 12 ounces broccoli florets on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Drizzle 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil over the broccoli, then season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Toss the florets on the baking sheet with tongs or your hands until evenly coated, then arrange them again in a single layer so they are not crowded.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15–22 minutes, checking at 15 minutes; cook until the stems are tender and the edges are crisp to your liking. For more even browning, shake the pan or turn the florets once about halfway through cooking.
Remove from the oven, sprinkle with red pepper flakes if using, and serve immediately.
