DESCRIPTION

My go-to method for how to make perfectly roasted broccoli!  See notes above for extra seasonings that you can add.

WAYS TO SERVE ROASTED BROCCOLI:

A few of my favorite ways to serve roasted broccoli include…

• On its own: Just as a simple side dish.
• Mixed into dishes: Such as a broccoli quiche, broccoli tacos, broccoli pizzas, broccoli (cheese!) soup, broccoli salad, broccoli casserole and more.

SCALE 

INGREDIENTS

• 1 bunch of broccoli (about 1.5 pounds), with the florets cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• sea salt

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Heat oven to 450°F.  Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper* or mist with cooking spray.
2. Spread the broccoli florets out evenly on the baking sheet and drizzle evenly with olive oil.  Toss until the florets are evenly coated.  Season with salt.
3. Cook for about 15-20* minutes, or until the florets are slightly charred and crispy around the edges.
4. Taste, and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.  Serve warm.

NOTES

*Parchment Paper: Double-check the temperature limit on your parchment paper.  If it is not made to withstand high heat, I recommend just misting your baking sheet with cooking spray.

*Cooking Time: This will depend on the size of your florets, so keep a close eye on them to be sure that they do not burn (especially if you have smaller florets).

This roasted broccoli recipe is super-versatile, so feel free to get creative with different seasoning combinations beyond salt and pepper!  Some of my faves include making the broccoli:

• Lemony: You can never go wrong with drizzling roasted broccoli with some freshly-squeezed lemon juice just before serving.
• 
  
• Cheesy: I love topping roasted broccoli with everything from salty Parmesan cheese to a sharp cheddar cheddar to creamy burrata.  Most of the time, I recommend adding the cheese immediately after you remove the broccoli from the oven, unless it happens to be a type of cheese that can safely cook and melt under high heat.
• 
  
• Italian: Again, Parmesan is always a win.  But feel free to also toss the pre-cooked broccoli with a few teaspoons of Italian seasoning after the broccoli has finished cooking.
• 
  
• Sesame Ginger: Grate or mince 1 inch of (peeled) fresh ginger and toss it with the broccoli before cooking.  Then once the broccoli has finished cooking, toss it with a drizzle of toasted sesame oil.
