Description
Make crispy, flavorful roasted broccoli in the oven with garlic and Parmesan cheese. This simple side dish cooks quickly and is perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 heads broccoli, cut into bite-sized florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Place the broccoli florets in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
- Add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss again until the broccoli is well seasoned.
- Spread the seasoned broccoli in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary for crispier results.
- Roast for 15 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the broccoli.
- Return to the oven and roast for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra flavor, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the finished broccoli before serving.
- To achieve maximum crispiness, ensure the broccoli florets are dry before tossing them with oil.
- If you prefer softer broccoli, increase the total roasting time by 5 minutes.
