    I absolutely love roasting our vegetables, and this Roasted Broccoli with Garlic and Parmesan recipe is where that love started!

    Like many of you, I grew up only using one or two methods of cooking vegetables. For ease and simplicity, I was a fan of steamed vegetables.

    That was then. Now, I enjoy so many different kinds of vegetable side dishes and my new favorite is also super easy and simple. Roasting your vegetables is just as easy as steaming them, but also unlocks a flavor that is unique to this cooking method. The difference is amazing!

    🥘 Ingredients

    • Broccoli Florets - Fresh is ideal, but thawed frozen broccoli will work.
    • Olive Oil - EVOO extra virgin olive oil.
    • Garlic - Minced or whole roasted cloves.
    • Parmesan Cheese - Freshly grated is best.
    • Salt & Pepper

    🔪 Step-By-Step Instructions

    1. First, preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C).
    2. Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
    3. Place your broccoli florets and garlic in a large bowl, then drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat.
    4. Spread out your coated broccoli florets over your baking sheet.
    5. Season with salt and pepper, then sprinkle and/or top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
    6. Roast your broccoli in the oven at 425°F (218°C) for about 20-25 minutes. This will depend on how well browned you would like your broccoli.
    7. Serve immediately, topped with additional Parmesan (optional).

    I like my oven roasted broccoli a touch under the point of being 'burnt broccoli'. Either way this garlic Parmesan roasted broccoli is absolutely delicious! Top it all off with some freshly grated Parmesan cheese before serving and enjoy!

    Serve With

    Roasted broccoli goes great as a side dish for tons of dinners. You should try it with my NY Steak, Rib Eye Steak, or my Smoked Prime Rib!

    💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

    • Just a note, for whenever you coat your vegetables in olive oil. Always drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and/or down the bowl sides rather than placing your vegetables into pooled olive oil (already poured into your bowl). The coating will be more even and yield better results for nearly everything, not only in the case of oven roasting vegetables!
    • Once your broccoli is lightly coated with extra virgin olive oil and tossed with minced garlic or roasted garlic cloves. Spread out your broccoli florets on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and roast until crispy!
    • I'm frequently asked about the results when using frozen broccoli. This does work exceptionally well if you can leave your broccoli time to either a) thaw completely, then paper towel dry to remove excess water or b) par-cook in a microwave to remove the excess moisture (the steam-able bags are perfect in this case).

      Absolutely delicious! I paired these with homemade meatballs. Couldn't find a single fault with this recipe. Will definitely be a part of our rotation!

      Good, straightforward recipe. Only caution I offer is if you choose to mince your fresh garlic cloves (vs. roasting them), you risk burning them as at 425F for 25 min. the garlic may burn and impart a somewhat bitter, harsh element. Avoid this issue either by substituting garlic powder, rough chopping the garlic (vs. mincing), or waiting to add finely minced until last 10 min of cooking.

      Can this be made ahead and reheated?

        Yes, it can be reheated. It won't be as crispy as when just roasted, but still very tasty. Enjoy!
