Ingredients
1 (16-ounce) package fresh broccoli florets
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the broccoli in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast for 15 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and lightly browned.
Meanwhile, combine the Parmesan cheese and garlic powder in a small bowl.
Remove the broccoli from the oven and sprinkle each floret with approximately 1–2 teaspoons of the Parmesan mixture.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 3 minutes, or until the cheese is lightly golden and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let the cheese set for 1 minute.
Serve immediately, including any crispy Parmesan bits from the baking sheet.
Notes
For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
Freshly grated Parmesan melts and browns better than pre-shredded varieties.
Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving for a bright flavor boost.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
