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!
- 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
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.
