Description
Make crispy, flavorful roasted broccoli in the oven with garlic and Parmesan cheese. This simple recipe delivers perfect texture quickly.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 heads broccoli, cut into 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 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the broccoli florets in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil.
- Add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the broccoli is evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned broccoli in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan.
- Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot broccoli. Toss gently to coat.
- Serve immediately for the best crispy texture.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, ensure the broccoli florets are dry before tossing them with oil.
- If you prefer a slight tang, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the finished broccoli before serving.
- If you are doubling the recipe, use two separate baking sheets to prevent steaming.
