Roasted parmesan broccoli

Roasted parmesan broccoli -AKA the best broccoli ever! Such a simple yet tasty side dish!

This parmesan roasted broccoli is one of my all time favorite ways to cook broccoli. If you aren’t a fan of broccoli, you need to try roasting it. I promise, it will give you a whole different perspective!  Roasting it makes all the delicious flavors come out, making this one of my all time favorite vegetables!

I may or may not make this broccoli once a week. Still working on my older 2 kids to try it, but my 2 year old tried it for the first time last week and LOVED it. She kept saying ‘more brocly peas’ in her cutest toddler voice.

MY OTHER RECIPES

I know I’ve said it before, but there’s something about roasting vegetables that make them 100x better. I never really cared for steamed broccoli, but once it’s roasted it’s so addicting. This roasted broccoli parmesan starts with a few simple ingredients: broccoli, olive oil and a few seasonings. Then to top it off I like to use freshly grated parmesan cheese. 

I like to cook the broccoli for about 20 minutes before adding the cheese, the the spears get nice and tender. Once they start to caramelize, I pull them out and add the cheese. Then I put it back in the oven just long enough for it to melt. I love using freshly grated parmesan because it melts so nicely and tastes amazing! 

I’m telling you, this recipe will turn broccoli haters into lovers. Once you try it, you wont ever go back to cooking it on the stove top again. Give it a try and let me know how you like it :)
