Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large head broccoli (about 1.5 lbs), cut into florets
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss broccoli florets with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper on the prepared sheet.
- Roast for 10 minutes, then broil on high for 2–3 minutes until edges are crispy and golden.
- Remove from oven, sprinkle with parmesan and red pepper flakes (if using), and toss gently.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, pat broccoli dry before roasting.
- Fresh garlic is key — pre-minced won’t crisp up the same way.
- Broil carefullyWatch closely as parmesan burns quickly.
