Make perfectly roasted broccoli every time. This easy oven roasted broccoli recipe delivers crispy edges and tender centers using simple ingredients like garlic and Parmesan. It is a quick, healthy broccoli side dish perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large heads of broccoli, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Place the broccoli florets in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss everything together until the broccoli is evenly coated.
  3. 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.
  4. Roast for 10 minutes.
  5. Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Sprinkle the minced garlic over the broccoli and toss gently. Return to the oven and roast for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until the edges are browned and crispy.
  6. Remove from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot broccoli and toss one last time. Serve this crispy roasted broccoli right away.

Notes

  • For extra crispy roasted broccoli, make sure your oven is fully preheated before the broccoli goes in. High heat is key for caramelization.
  • If you prefer a low carb vegetable side without cheese, skip the Parmesan and add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice after roasting.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep; store cooled broccoli in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
