Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large head broccoli, cut into 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°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until the broccoli is evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned broccoli in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary for maximum crispiness.
- Roast for 15 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the broccoli.
- Return the broccoli to the oven and roast for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the edges are nicely browned and crisp.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your perfectly roasted broccoli.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, ensure your broccoli florets are dry before tossing them with oil.
- If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder along with the salt and pepper.
- If you do not have fresh Parmesan, use shelf-stable grated Parmesan, but add it only during the last 2 minutes of cooking to prevent burning.
