Easy Roasted Broccoli with Parmesan Recipe Tips

Here are some general tips to make sure your roasted broccoli turns out perfectly, every time.

  • Wash and dry your broccoli head before you toss it with the oil to get them brown and crisp.
  • Size matters when it comes to roasting vegetables. Cut the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces. Cut your florets into similar-sized pieces and they will cook at a similar rate.
  • Never crowd your florets on the sheet pan to avoid steaming and allow for some breathing room to produce brown and crisp. 
  • Bake the broccoli at 425 degrees Fahrenheit to get crispy, golden edges.

Notes

  • Coat the Broccoli Evenly: When tossing the broccoli with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper, make sure to coat each floret evenly. This helps to ensure that every piece is seasoned well and cooks to perfection.
  • Spread Evenly on Baking Sheet: Once the broccoli is coated, spread it out evenly on the baking sheet. This prevents overcrowding, allowing the broccoli to roast evenly and develop a nice golden color.
