Oven Roasted Frozen Broccoli

Greetings all!

A friend was recently telling me how tasty the frozen broccoli was when roasted in the oven. I decided to try and now this is one of my favorite quick meals. Two things to remember are:

  1. Do not thaw the broccoli
  2. Do not crowd the baking sheet
Image and recipe from 

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 lb. frozen broccoli florets 
  • Tbsp olive oil 
  • 1/2 Tbsp Montreal steak seasoning - I used salt, crushed red pepper, garlic powder and dry parsley

Instructions:

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the frozen florets out over the baking sheet (no need to thaw).
    • I also tried roasting at 450 ºF and it turned out great!
  • Drizzle the olive oil over the florets, then sprinkle the Montreal steak seasoning over top. Toss the florets in the oil and seasoning until everything is evenly distributed (it's okay if a lot of it falls onto the baking sheet, it will be stirred and redistributed again later).
  • Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and roast for 20 minutes. Take the baking sheet out and use a spatula to stir the broccoli and redistribute the oil and spices. Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 10 minutes, or until the broccoli develops the amount of brownness desired. Serve hot.
    • I also squeezed some lemon to brighten the flavor.

Bon Appetit! Let me know how you like it!
