Crispy Garlic Roasted Broccoli
Description
This recipe for Crispy Garlic Roasted Broccoli calls for cutting broccoli into large chunks to avoid overcooking and ensure a tender-crisp texture. The broccoli is coated evenly with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper before being spread on a baking pan.
Roasting at 450°F allows the broccoli to caramelize slightly, developing a rich flavor and crisp edges while the interior remains tender. Optionally, the broccoli can be moved to the top rack and broiled for an additional minute to increase crispness and enhance browning.
Frozen broccoli can be used as well; since it’s usually par-boiled before freezing, roasting it yields a caramelized color and smoky flavor. This method also works well for roasting a variety of other vegetables such as baby corn, carrots, potatoes, bell peppers, whole mushrooms, onions, or butternut squash alongside the broccoli.
Ingredients
- 1 pound broccoli cut into large pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions

- Toss broccoli with remaining ingredients and ensure each piece is well coated with olive oil. Place on a baking pan.

Notes
- Cut broccoli into large pieces to prevent it from overcooking before crisping.
- Frozen broccoli works and develops a caramelized, smoky flavor when roasted.
- This roasting technique is suitable for other vegetables like baby corn, carrots, potatoes, bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, or butternut squash.
