Parmesan Broccoli
Description
Parmesan Broccoli begins by slicing fresh broccoli into florets and coating them with olive oil and melted butter to promote browning and flavor during roasting. Seasoned with salt and black pepper, the broccoli is arranged in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roasting at 400°F initially softens the broccoli and develops a slight char.
After 10 minutes, grated Parmesan cheese is sprinkled over the broccoli and returned to the oven to melt and form a crust. This finishing step adds a salty, nutty layer that contrasts with the tender vegetable beneath. The result is a dish that balances the crisp-tender texture of the broccoli with a savory, golden cheese topping.
Serve Parmesan Broccoli hot and fresh from the oven as a flavorful complement to chicken, fish, or other mains. The recipe’s brief cooking time and straightforward ingredients make it an accessible side that enhances any meal.
