You need this simple, flavorful recipe for oven roasted broccoli that delivers incredibly crispy edges and savory garlic parmesan flavor. It is a quick, healthy vegetable side dish perfect for weeknight dinners or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large heads of broccoli, cut into uniform florets
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the broccoli florets with the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss everything well until the broccoli is evenly coated.
  3. Spread the seasoned broccoli in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary to promote crisping.
  4. Roast for 12 minutes.
  5. Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the broccoli. Gently toss the florets on the pan.
  6. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until the edges of the broccoli are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Remove from the oven. If using, drizzle with fresh lemon juice immediately. Serve this easy broccoli side dish warm.

Notes

  • For the crispiest broccoli, make sure your florets are dry before tossing them with oil. Pat them with a paper towel if they are wet from washing.
  • Do not skip the single-layer arrangement on the baking sheet; this is key to achieving those delicious crunchy edges.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep; store cooled leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
