Even if you or a family member doesn’t like broccoli, roasted broccoli is a different story.
This recipe was adapted from The Best Broccoli of Your Life from the Amateur Gourmet. I like that these are crispy and sweet– a nice twist on broccoli. Adding parmesan and lemon when it’s done makes it amazing!
Every time I make this I wonder why I don’t make it more often. For me, roasted broccoli with parmesan is better than dessert.
Any roasted broccoli fans out there?

I was actually thinking of making some type of broccoli dish tonight, this sounds yummy! I am tired of just steaming it and maybe the kids will be more receptive to this one, too. Neither are big fans at the moment but as we know that can change overnight!

I make this broccoli and garlic is definitely the way to go! My girls call them trees! I get the broccoli with the long stems and clean, then cut them so they look like trees.

Your broccoli post reminded me. My favorite way to cook vegetables is to roast them with just basic olive oil, salt and pepper. Of course you can add anything. My boy is only 16 months old and a great eater so I’m hardly an expert on how to get kids to eat, but I have a friend who has the palette of a child and every vegetable I have made for her this way she loves. She swore she didn’t like asparagus, I roasted it, she loved it. She said she didn’t like butternut squash or mushrooms. I roasted them with some onion and again, she loved it. Simple and easy. But I never thought about doing it with broccoli .Thanks for sharing.

I tried this last night and loved it! I really liked the flavor that the lemon added! I’d gotten so bored with the usual steamed broccoli, so this was a welcome change – yum!! I think it might try this with sliced brussel sprouts too!

Finally tried this tonight to RAVE reviews all around. My 21-month-old, who literally spit out his steamed broccoli just last night, devoured a bunch of this. He kept saying “ma-mo!” (which means “one more” in his toddler language) and ate it until it was gone. I had to make a second batch! I really like how crunchy it comes out. But next time I will use my olive oil spritzer instead of drizzling it on, as I think I ended up using too much. Thanks for the recipe!
