Ingredients
- 16 ounces frozen broccoli
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- ¼ teaspoon coconut sugar substitute brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F, with the baking sheet inside.
- Place the frozen broccoli in a bowl and toss with the avocado oil, salt, pepper and coconut sugar.
- Place the broccoli directly on the heated baking sheet and roast for 15-18 minutes, until the edges are slightly browned and caramelized. **If the edges are not as brown as you'd like, pop it under the broiler for a minute or two to crisp the edges.
- Remove, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve.
Notes
- Make sure the baking sheet is hot before placing the broccoli on it - this helps it to caramelize in the oven.
- Spread the pieces out so they're not touching for the best results.
- Don't stir the broccoli while it's cooking. Leaving it be allows it to caramelize better.
- If you want crisper edges, place the broccoli under the broiler for a minute or two.
