Notes
*Cooking time may vary just a little based on the size of the broccoli pieces and how well you spread them out on the sheet pan. The longer you cook the broccoli, the more it will dry out and the crispier the edges will be.
If you want the broccoli to be soft, cook it at a lower temperature with the broccoli florets close together so it steams a bit, more than roasts. (You can even cook it in a baking dish, instead of on a sheet pan.)
Storage & Reheating
How to Store Leftovers Store leftover broccoli (once cooled) in an airtight container in the refrigerator. How to Reheat Leftovers You can reheat your broccoli in the microwave (it will lose some crunch this way) or reheat it for 5 – 10 minutes in the oven at 350°F. You can also reheat it in the air fryer.Nutrition
