Crispy, toasty, and ever so slightly cheesy, I can make an entire meal out of this garlic parmesan roasted broccoli.
Garlic Parmesan Broccoli
Roasted broccoli is on our dinner menu as a side dish almost every week. It is easy, tastes delicious, and everyone will eat it. That is dinner time win in my book.
However, add bread crumbs and parmesan cheese and suddenly I’m serving them something entirely new. The excitement over this garlic parmesan roasted broccoli was hilarious. Yes, all the plates were licked completely clean.
Panko breadcrumbs are my go-to choice for this recipe, however, the recipe will also work nicely with traditional breadcrumbs.
Parmesan can be a salty cheese, so I recommend waiting to season this with salt after it comes out of the oven and you’ve tasted the broccoli to determine if it is needed.
Typically, when I roast broccoli I just toss it with a bit of olive oil. This time I melted butter with the olive oil and tossed the fresh broccoli pieces in that to coat them. Let me tell you, AMAZING is how that made the broccoli taste. It’s a simple way to dress up your side dish.
After tossing with the melted butter and olive oil, sprinkle the broccoli with a combination of bread crumbs, parmesan, and garlic. Give it a stir or toss to coat the broccoli and then transfer it to a baking sheet.
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F until the broccoli is toasted and crispy. Serve immediately while it is still hot. Brace yourself for your kids to beg for seconds. It will happen.

When the recipe says toss again, does that mean in the butter and oil?
Mary says
First, toss the broccoli in the butter and oil and then sprinkle the broccoli with the breadcrumbs and toss again to coat.
