Make the best roasted broccoli with crispy edges and tender centers using this simple oven method. This quick and easy recipe uses garlic and Parmesan cheese for a flavorful, healthy side dish perfect for any weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Place the broccoli florets in a large bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil and toss until every piece is lightly coated.
  3. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the broccoli and toss again to distribute the seasoning evenly.
  4. Spread the broccoli in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary. Crowding steams the broccoli instead of roasting it.
  5. Roast for 10 minutes.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven. Sprinkle the minced garlic evenly over the broccoli. Toss the broccoli gently on the pan.
  7. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 5 to 7 minutes, until the edges start to brown and crisp.
  8. Remove the pan again. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot broccoli and toss quickly.
  9. Return to the oven for 1 to 2 minutes, just until the Parmesan is melted and slightly golden. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  10. Serve immediately as a healthy side dish or for broccoli meal prep.

Notes

  • For the crispiest roasted broccoli, ensure your oven is fully preheated and use high heat (425°F).
  • Do not wash the broccoli until just before you plan to use it; excess moisture prevents crisping.
  • If you want a lemon garlic broccoli finish, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the finished dish before serving.
  • This recipe is naturally low carb vegetable sides and keto roasted broccoli friendly.
