Make crispy, flavorful roasted broccoli with garlic and Parmesan cheese. This easy oven recipe delivers tender centers and crunchy edges, perfect as a quick, healthy side dish for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large heads of broccoli, cut into uniform florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  2. Place the broccoli florets in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss until the broccoli is evenly coated.
  3. Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the broccoli. Toss again to distribute the seasonings.
  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 promote crisping.
  5. Roast for 15 minutes.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the broccoli.
  7. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the edges of the broccoli are slightly browned and crispy, and the cheese is melted.
  8. Serve immediately as a quick side dish or healthy dinner side.

Notes

  • For extra crispy roasted broccoli, ensure your florets are dry before tossing them with oil.
  • If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, substitute 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder with 2 cloves of minced fresh garlic mixed with the oil.
  • This recipe is great for meal prep; store cooled leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
