3-Step Execution Protocol

1
Preheat & Prep

Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Prepare broccoli florets (roasted) (Bite-sized florets, tossed with 2 tbsp olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper). Spray lightly with high-smoke-point oil.

2
Cook & Flip

Cook for 18–22 mins. Flip at the 12-minute mark for even browning.

3
Check & Rest

Floret tips are deeply charred and crispy; stems are tender but not mushy; edges are lightly blistered. Confirm internal temperature reaches Tender-crisp with charred edges. Rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Verification Basis & Testing Rig

Maillard reaction onset at 280°F+; tested on half-sheet pan in GE Profile 30" convection oven.

Pro Tip: High heat + single layer = crispy roasted broccoli. Crowding the pan creates steam and turns florets soft and pale.
