Ingredients
Yield: 4 servings
Main
- 1 large head of broccoli, cut into bite-sized florets
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil until evenly coated.
Step 3
Add Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Toss again until the broccoli is well coated with the cheese and seasonings.
Step 4
Spread the broccoli in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring not to overcrowd it (use two baking sheets if necessary for even crisping).
Step 5
Roast for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the broccoli is tender-crisp and the Parmesan is golden and crispy.
Step 6
Serve immediately as a side dish or a delicious snack.
Tips
- For extra crispiness, ensure your broccoli is very dry before tossing with oil and seasonings.
- A squeeze of lemon juice after roasting brightens up the flavors even more.
- Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little kick!
