This recipe delivers perfectly roasted broccoli with crispy edges and a tender center using simple ingredients. It is a quick, healthy vegetable side dish ideal for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head of broccoli, cut into uniform florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Place the broccoli florets in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss until the broccoli is evenly coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned broccoli in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary to ensure crisping.
  4. Roast for 10 minutes.
  5. Remove the pan from the oven. Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the broccoli. Toss gently.
  6. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 5 minutes.
  7. Remove the pan again. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot broccoli and toss quickly to coat.
  8. Return to the oven for a final 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the broccoli edges are nicely browned and crispy.
  9. Serve immediately as a healthy side dish.

Notes

  • For extra crispy roasted broccoli, ensure your florets are dry before tossing with oil. Pat them with a paper towel if needed.
  • If you prefer a lemon roasted broccoli flavor, add 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon zest with the Parmesan cheese at the end.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep; store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
