Description
This cheesy roasted broccoli is a simple and delicious side dish that pairs well with any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 pounds broccoli (cut into even size florets)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large garlic cloves (chopped)
- Salt and ground black pepper (to taste)
- 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Prep broccoli. In a greased sheet pan, toss broccoli, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes together, until evenly coated. Spread into a single layer.
- Bake. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until crisp, tender and lightly browned. Remove baking pan from oven and place on a wire rack (do not turn off oven).
- Top with cheese. Carefully remove the hot pan from the oven. Using a spoon, gently nudge the broccoli florets closer together so the cheese melts over the top instead of falling onto the pan. Sprinkle the cheeses evenly over the broccoli, being careful since the pan will be very hot.
- Finish baking. Return pan back into the oven and bake until cheese melts (2 to 3 minutes). Serve broccoli immediately.
Notes
- This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes according to your spice preference.
