Ingredients

  • 1 head broccoli about 4 cups florets
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • shredded Parmesan cheese optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. 
  2. Chop the broccoli into bite sized florets. 
  3. Place the broccoli florets on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and massage the oil into the broccoli to completely coat the florets.
  4. Roast for 10 to 15 minutes or until broccoli is tender crisp. Larger florets will need closer to 15 minutes, smaller ones will need about 10 minutes.
  5. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and broil for 1 minute if desired.

Notes

  • (Larger florets will need closer to 15 minutes, smaller will need about 10 minutes).
  • Cut broccoli into even sized florets. If the florets have a "flat side" place the flat side down for better caramelization.
  • Peel the stems with a veggie peeler, slice them ½-inch thick, and roast them with the broccoli.
  • If the broccoli is wet (from washing), it will steam instead of roasting. Make sure it's very dry before roasting. Broccoli can be washed up to 5 days in advance.
  • If using pre-washed and cut broccoli, add the oil and seasonings right to the bag and shake it up! Less mess and less work.
  • (Larger florets will need closer to 15 minutes, smaller will need about 10 minutes).
