This recipe shows you how to roast broccoli to achieve tender interiors and perfectly crispy edges. It uses garlic and Parmesan cheese for a flavorful, easy side dish perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head of broccoli, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Place the broccoli florets in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil.
  3. Add the salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the bowl. Toss everything together until the broccoli is evenly coated.
  4. 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.
  5. Roast for 15 minutes.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the broccoli. Gently toss the florets on the pan.
  7. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until the edges are caramelized and crispy.
  8. Remove from the oven. If using, drizzle with fresh lemon juice immediately before serving. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For the crispiest results, make sure your oven is fully preheated and do not skip the single-layer arrangement on the baking sheet.
  • If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, use 2 cloves of fresh minced garlic instead of garlic powder, adding it with the oil before roasting.
  • This dish works well as a healthy vegetable side dish for any meal.
