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.

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!

Haven’t even made this yet. 🤣 We just trust Sara’s taste implicitly and know it will be fab. I was actually looking for her Green Beans Almandine recipe which we LOVE and found this. But it’s Green Beans a la Sara tonight! (Tip: We’ve been buying the mongo bags of sliced almonds at Costco, and pre-toasting them, and then keeping them in vacuum containers, so they’re ready to go when one of Sara’s recipes calls for them! )
Perfectly cooked and flavored
Would bacon work good with this recipe like it does with the Brussels sprouts
Yes that would be great!
The parmesan cheese and broccoli is a winning combination. We really enjoyed this recipe.
This is our new go-to vegetable side. We absolutely love the flavor and texture. Even our 3-year-old loves it! Sometimes we mix broccoli and halved brussel sprouts and roast them together and it is just as fantastic. Thank you for sharing this tasty and easy recipe!
