If you haven’t tried roasted broccoli yet or are not a broccoli lover, you’re missing out. Roasting brings out the sweetness in the broccoli and makes it so delicious that you definitely need to give this recipe a try.
Oven Roasted Broccoli Ingredients
You’ll need:
- 6 cups (16 ounces) of broccoli florets, rinsed and trimmed (about 1½ bunches)
- ⅓ cup of extra virgin olive oil
- 1½ tablespoons of lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon of fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon of onion powder
- 1 teaspoon of kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon of fresh cracked black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon of red pepper flakes
- ¾ cup of grated parmesan cheese
Parmesan Broccoli Substitutions And Additions
BROCCOLI: You can substitute 3 cups of the fresh broccoli florets for fresh cauliflower or other favorite vegetables that are hearty enough for roasting in this great side dish recipe.
LEMON: You can remove the fresh lemon juice and zest, but adding a little bit of lemon gives even more freshness to the flavor.
How To Roast Broccoli In The Oven
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and lightly spray with non-stick spray. Set it aside.
PRO TIP:
Non-stick Reynolds foil is also a good alternative to spraying non-stick spray.
STEP TWO: Using a large bowl, add the broccoli florets, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, lemon zest, onion powder, kosher salt, ground pepper and red pepper flakes.
Toss to coat the broccoli completely.
PRO TIP:
You can use a 2-gallon Ziploc plastic bag instead of a large mixing bowl. Add all ingredients, including the broccoli, to the bag and give it a good shake to coat the broccoli.
STEP THREE: Spread the coated broccoli on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
STEP FOUR: Evenly sprinkle the grated parmesan. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Serve while hot.
Serve with lemon wedges so that everyone can add an extra little zing.
PRO TIP:
Oven temperatures vary and may need to be recalibrated periodically to ensure they are accurate. Make sure to keep a close eye on your broccoli as the suggested baking time approaches.

You can use frozen broccoli for roasting. The edges won’t come out quite as crisp as fresh broccoli, but the dish will still be delicious.

You can roast broccoli along with other veggies, although you have to be aware that different vegetables have different roasting times. So you may need to add the broccoli near the end of the roasting time if you are cooking potatoes or carrots too.

Roasted broccoli will keep in the freezer for up to six months stored in an airtight container.

Roasting broccoli is good for you, and the vegetable retains many of its nutrients.
