This parmesan roasted broccoli is seasoned with olive oil, parmesan and herbs. Put it in a hot oven and cook until tender and browned for the best broccoli you’ll ever have!
Broccoli will never be boring again after you’ve tried this recipe. This broccoli is so good you can make a whole meal out of it!
My kids are hit and miss when it comes to vegetables, but broccoli is one of the few that all three girls will happily eat. Sometimes I get tired of basic steamed broccoli, so I decided to switch things up a bit with this parmesan roasted broccoli. It was a huge success, both with the kids and the adults!
How to make parmesan roasted broccoli
This recipe couldn’t be any easier. You’ll need some fresh broccoli florets, olive oil, seasonings and parmesan cheese. The broccoli is coated in the olive oil and seasonings, then roasted to golden brown perfection.
The final step in the process is to add a sprinkling of parmesan cheese, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a little chopped parsley. I promise you, there will be no leftovers of this amazing veggie dish!
I like to serve my parmesan roasted broccoli with lemon wedges as garnish, but that’s completely optional.
This parmesan roasted broccoli is perfect for a simple weeknight dinner, yet elegant enough to serve to company. However you serve it, you won’t have any problems getting your family to eat their veggies!

April 14, 2019 at 4:22 pmLooking for a broccoli dish to bring to Easter. How would this be a on a reheat? Obviously the best scenario would be eat immediately but if it’s not possible…….. ??

April 14, 2019 at 8:15 pmThe broccoli won’t be as crispy if you reheat it, although it will still be delicious. You might want to consider something like glazed carrots instead! https://www.dinneratthezoo.com/glazed-carrots/

February 5, 2019 at 3:37 pmLove roasted broccoli and this version is very good. However, the stems can be roasted very well along with the florets and they taste even better! Simply cut off the bottom inch or so, peel the straight part and cut into disks or 1/2 inch wide strips, These stems are sweeter than the florets and are reminiscent of celery root.
