This roasted broccoli is golden at the edges and tender inside, full of garlicky, cheesy flavor. A simple and quick side dish perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 to 2 pounds broccoli, cut into bite-size florets
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 to 4 garlic cloves, finely minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 to 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, lemon zest (1/2 lemon), and lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a rimmed sheet pan on the middle rack to preheat.
  2. Cut broccoli into even florets, including peeled stems. Rinse and dry very well with towels.
  3. Toss broccoli with olive oil, salt, pepper, and minced garlic (or garlic powder).
  4. Carefully remove the hot pan. Spread broccoli in a single layer with space between pieces.
  5. Roast for 12 minutes. Stir or flip the florets so more sides brown.
  6. Roast 6 to 10 minutes more, until edges are deeply browned and stems are tender. In the last 3 to 4 minutes, sprinkle Parmesan over the broccoli.
  7. Remove from oven. Taste and adjust salt. Finish with lemon juice or zest and a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use a dairy-free Parmesan-style cheese or skip the cheese and add nutritional yeast after roasting.
