Here’s a great way to make broccoli if you are tired of making it the same old way. Roasting broccoli with garlic creates a sweet, nutty delicious flavor and the aroma that wafts through your kitchen will make everyone asking when’s dinner ready. This is a simple, yet elegant side dish. I like it topped with shaved Parmesan but you can also add red pepper flakes or top it with fresh lemon juice.

Just delicious, and not too difficult.
This was the first time I made broccoli that wasn’t steamed. It was so good. I will definitely make this again.

Why can’t we print your recipes
There is a print button above the WW link on the recipe card. 🙂
Wonderful recipe. I used fresh broccoli. We loved the smashed garlic, as it has such a sweet taste once roasted. Next time I will add a few more cloves since they were so good. Suggest cutting up the garlic a bitnonce done to spread out the yumminess. Didn’t really need the parmesan (we wanted to cut down on calories) but sure it would be delicious added.
I read in the comments that Gina amended the recipe to have 4 steps, and to boil the broccoli. I’m seeing a recipe with 3 steps and no boiling. Did I miss something?
No, just 3 steps. 🙂
Absolutely bloody FABULOUSO!!! Just love it. Thanks so very much. Lovely
So I made. A few changes. Used a cast iron skillet and charred both sides of the broccoli and garlic  and then add salt pepper red pepper flakes. Added a little chicken broth and steamed it on the stove. – my oven was full at the time. Family raved. Going on the rotation Â
Can I use frozen broccoli?Â
EASY TO MAKE I LOVE BROCCOLI ANYWAY BUT SPRINKLE PARMESAN CHEESE WAS DELICIOUS
Followed this exactly (as far as I can tell) and the broccoli dried out quickly, without getting too soft, while the garlic browned really quickly. I feel like it needs more oil than what the recipe calls for and maybe a lower temp? That’s just based on some other recipes I’ve seen.
Sorry I will amend it soÂ
This recipe is vv nice!!….Many Thanks….quite a favorite in the house now!!
