Roasted Broccoli
Roasted broccoli is a quick, flavorful side with crispy edges and a tender interior, tossed in olive oil, garlic powder, and Parmesan for a savory kick. Perfect for any meal!
Ingredients
- 1 large head of broccoli cut into florets (about 4–5 cups)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder or fresh minced garlic for extra flavor
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese divided
- Optional: Red pepper flakes lemon zest, or black pepper for added flair
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Cut the broccoli into florets. Toss with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, and ¼ cup Parmesan until evenly coated.
- Spread the broccoli on the baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.
- Remove the broccoli from the oven and sprinkle the remaining Parmesan over the hot florets. Let the heat melt the cheese.
- Transfer the broccoli to a dish. Optionally, squeeze fresh lemon juice or sprinkle red pepper flakes and black pepper for added flavor.
