Roasted Broccoli with Garlic (Printable)

Tender broccoli florets roasted with garlic and Parmesan create a savory and satisfying side dish.

# What You'll Need:

01 - 1 lb fresh broccoli, cut into florets

02 - 3 cloves garlic, minced

03 - 3 tbsp olive oil

04 - 1/2 tsp salt

05 - 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper

06 - 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

07 - 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

08 - Lemon wedges, for serving

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

02 - In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

03 - Spread the broccoli in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

04 - Roast for 18–20 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the edges are crisp and the stems are tender.

05 - Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Toss gently so the cheese melts slightly on the hot broccoli.

06 - Transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges, if desired.

01 -

Those crispy charred edges taste like restaurant food but come together in under 30 minutes
Its the side dish that actually steals the show, even from the main course

02 -

Crowding the pan is the fastest way to steam instead of roast so use two baking sheets if needed
The residual heat from the broccoli melts the Parmesan perfectly so adding it straight from the oven is crucial

03 -

Cut the broccoli stems into thin coins along with the florets so nothing goes to waste and they become incredibly sweet when roasted
Let your sheet pan cool completely before cleanup or the stuckon cheese bits become nearly impossible to remove
