Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large head of broccoli, cut into bite-sized florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Place the broccoli florets on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure the florets are in a single layer; do not overcrowd the pan.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the broccoli. Toss the florets until they are evenly coated.
- Sprinkle the minced garlic, salt, and pepper over the broccoli. Toss again to distribute the seasonings.
- Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the edges of the broccoli are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot broccoli and toss gently to coat.
- Serve right away for the best texture.
Notes
- For extra crispy results, ensure your oven is fully preheated before placing the broccoli inside.
- If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, use 1 teaspoon of garlic powder instead of fresh minced garlic.
- This recipe works well for meal prep; store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
