Ingredients for Roasted Broccoli

Broccoli – Fresh broccoli florets work best in this recipe. They caramelize better adding an extra layer of flavor. If you’re short on time, a bag of pre-washed and cut broccoli makes this recipe quick.

Oil – Extra virgin olive oil is perfect for roasting veggies. Swap in leftover bacon grease for a smoky savory twist.

Seasonings – This simple side needs just salt, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Get creative and add minced garlic cloves, a squeeze of lemon juice (or some lemon zest), a dash of balsamic vinegar, or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.

Tips for the Best Roasted Broccoli

  • Cut broccoli into even sized florets. If the florets have a “flat side” place the flat side down; it caramelizes nicely that way.
  • Peel the stems with a veggie peeler and slice them ½-inch thick and roast them with the broccoli.
  • If the broccoli is wet (from washing), it will steam instead of roasting. Make sure it’s very dry before roasting. Broccoli can be washed up to 5 days in advance
  • If using pre-washed and cut broccoli, add the oil and seasonings right to the bag and shake it up! Less mess and less work.
  • For easy clean-up, line the sheet pan with parchment paper.

Store leftover roasted broccoli in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
