Start with two fresh crowns of Broccoli and chop off the florets, or pre-cut if that is easier. In a mixing bowl combine the Florets, Coconut Amino, Avocado Oil, and seasoning. Spread out the florets on a Parchment Lined Sheet Pan. Make sure the Broccoli is not touching to the best of your ability, it will allow for even cooking. Stick the Sheet Pan in the oven for 20 minutes, stirring once at around 10 minutes.
"Blackened" Broccoli is perfect for meal prepping at the beginning and the week and heating it up for a quick dinner.

This dish isn't just for dinner, you can have it with any meal.
