Description

A quick and delicious way to enjoy broccoli, transforming it into a crispy and savory side dish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, toss broccoli florets with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the broccoli on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they aren’t overlapping.
  4. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are crispy and browned.
  5. Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the hot broccoli.
  6. Add red pepper flakes before serving if you want a spicy kick.

Notes

Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet to prevent steaming. Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
