Ingredients
  

For the Broccoli
  • 16 oz Frozen Broccoli This provides a nutritious base rich in vitamins and fiber; always handy in the freezer.
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil Enhances flavor and helps achieve a perfect crispy texture; can substitute with avocado oil if preferred.
For the Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder Infuses a savory depth to your roasted frozen broccoli; fresh minced garlic can be used for a stronger flavor.
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder Pairs wonderfully with garlic; fresh diced onions make a delightful alternative if you want extra crunch.
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice Adds a bright and zesty note; feel free to omit for a milder flavor or add zest for a citrusy kick.
For the Finish
  • ¼ cup Grated Parmesan Cheese Offers a deliciously rich and salty topping; use nutritional yeast for a vegan option instead.
