A delightful twist on roasted broccoli, featuring a hint of garlic and chili for a flavorful kick.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the best texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, olive oil, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
Tossing the broccoli thoroughly ensures even coating of the seasonings.
Spread the seasoned broccoli in a single layer on a baking sheet.
A single layer allows for proper roasting and prevents steaming.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Check halfway through to ensure even browning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven, toss the broccoli, and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.
Tossing ensures even cooking and the cheese melts perfectly.
Return to the oven and roast for an additional 8-10 minutes, until the broccoli is tender and slightly crispy.
Keep an eye on the broccoli to avoid overcooking.
Serve the roasted broccoli immediately as a delicious side dish.
Serving immediately preserves the crisp texture and fresh flavor.
