Cut the broccoli into small bite-size pieces.
Add the broccoli pieces to a large mixing bowl with the avocado oil and toss until the avocado oil is evenly distributed and all broccoli pieces are covered.
Add the remaining ingredients for the broccoli (omit nutritional yeast for Medical Medium®) to a small bowl and stir until well combined.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the broccoli pieces and gently toss until they are all covered and the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Transfer the seasoned broccoli pieces to the prepared cookie sheet and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 15 minutes, or until they are slightly crispy.

While the broccoli is baking, prepare the lentils according to the package directions.
