Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the broccoli florets onto the prepared baking sheet and spray or toss with avocado oil. Arrange the broccoli into a single layer, without crowding, and season lightly with salt and pepper. Place onto the center rack of your preheated oven and roast at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 12 minutes.

- Return the broccoli to the oven and roast for an additional 5 - 10 minutes, or until the broccoli is cooked to your liking. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Tamari - I use gluten-free tamari but you can also use soy sauce as a substitute.
- Crushed red pepper flakes - this adds a little heat but you can omit if you do not like spicy food or just add a pinch.
