Ingredients Needed

- Bread crumbs: Italian seasoned bread crumbs.
- Parmesan cheese: Fresh grated from the deli section.
How to make Parmesan Roasted Broccoli
- Step 1: In a large bowl add fresh broccoli florets, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper, bread crumbs, and parmesan cheese, and mix until combined
- Step 2: Line a baking sheet pan with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray Spread broccoli into a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and place in a hot oven.
Recipe Tips
- Wash and dry the fresh broccoli, wet broccoli will steam.
- Make sure they are cut into uniform bite-size pieces, so they cook evenly to an even layer.
- Don’t overcrowd the cookie sheet make sure you spread the broccoli out.
- Use freshly grated parmesan cheese, not the stuff in the green can.
Tips for roasting vegetables
- Make sure all the vegetables are cut to the same size so they cook evenly.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet.
- Serve immediately roasted vegetables are best served right away.
- Use the right amount of olive oil. Too much oil will make your vegetables soggy.
