- Serves:
-
2
ingredients
- 1 bunch broccoli, cut into pieces
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil
- 2 -4 garlic cloves, smashed and diced
- 1⁄4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- salt and pepper
- 1⁄4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
directions
- Preheat to the oven to 400°F.
- Mix together the oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.
- Toss together the broccoli and the oil mixture in a large bowl.
- You may have to adjust the oil a bit if your bunch of broccoli is smallish.
- You don't want it swimming in oil on the cookie sheet.
- Put broccoli on cookie sheet.
- Place in the oven for about 10-15 minutes.
- Be sure and check often to make sure it's not burning, you want it to caramelize but not burn.
- If you don't like al dente broccoli, cook a little longer.
- I usually remove after 10-15 minutes.
- When the broccoli is as done as you like remove from the oven and toss with the cheese.

My husband and I devoured about a pound of broccoli after making this recipe- we couldn't leave it alone! Oh yeah, a tip for making sure all the broccoli pieces are evenly coated; put the oil mixture and broccoli in a gallon size zip-lock bag and "shake it up". Thanks for sharing this super yummers recipe. Between roasting and grilling my veggies, I doubt I'll ever go back to steaming.

This really makes all the difference in the world in the flavor of broccoli. Roasting it with the garlic makes for a very mellow, mild garlicky flavor. Both my kids raved about it, which is HUGE because they are not veggie eaters AT ALL. I added a very generous splash of fresh lemon juice instead of the Parmesan just before serving and I think that was a great addition. I doubt I'll prepare broccoli any other way in the future. Don't think the Parmesan is necessary but I'm sure it is tasty that way, too.

Made a small batch for my husband to try, afterwards he requested a second batch. I added onion to the second batch. I didnt have the pepper flakes on hand and it still turned out really good. I also just used the minced garlic in the jar not fresh and was still tasty. I Will definately add this to my favorite dishes. Thanks!
