Roasted Broccoli (Garlic & Parmesan)
Description
This Roasted Broccoli recipe begins by cutting the broccoli into bite-sized florets which are coated in olive oil and minced garlic, then seasoned with salt and pepper. They are spread evenly on a baking sheet and roasted at 425°F until they develop crispy, caramelized edges while maintaining tender centers.
After roasting, freshly grated Parmesan is sprinkled over the broccoli along with a squeeze of lemon juice. These finishing touches add a salty, nutty flavor and bright citrus note that balance the richness of the olive oil and roasted garlic.
The broccoli serves well as a side dish alongside a variety of meals. It also stores well when cooled and refrigerated for several days, though it may lose some crispness upon reheating. Freezing is possible if spread individually before bagging, keeping it convenient for later use.
Ingredients
- 1 broccoli head
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 1 lemon juiced
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Slice the broccoli. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Remove the individual florets from the head of broccoli and cut them into even bite-sized pieces.
- Season the broccoli. On a baking sheet, toss the broccoli florets in olive oil and minced garlic and season with salt and pepper. Spread them out into an even layer on the baking sheet.
- Roast the broccoli. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until edges are crispy and slightly browned.
- Add the finishing touches. Garnish with freshly shaved parmesan and a squeeze of lemon. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Cool roasted broccoli completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days.
- Reheating will soften the broccoli and reduce crispness.
- To freeze, spread broccoli out on a baking sheet and freeze individually before transferring to a freezer-safe bag; store for up to 3 months.
- If using frozen broccoli, roast directly from frozen at 450°F for 25 to 30 minutes after removing excess ice.
- Use freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano for best flavor rather than pre-grated cheese.
- Heavy-duty baking sheets resist warping and improve roasting quality.
