Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets. This step is crucial for getting crispy edges. In a large bowl, toss the dry florets with olive oil, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix until every piece is evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned broccoli in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure there is space between the florets to promote roasting rather than steaming. Use two pans if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Roast for 15-20 minutes, flipping the florets halfway through the cooking time. The broccoli is done when the stems are tender-crisp and the edges are browned and slightly charred.
Remove from the oven. For a bright, fresh finish, squeeze the juice from the lemon half over the hot broccoli, if using. Serve immediately for the best texture.
