  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 4 cups frozen broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the broccoli.
  2. Initial Roasting: Spread the frozen broccoli florets evenly in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 10 minutes to start thawing and cooking the broccoli.
  3. Season the Broccoli: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Drizzle olive oil over the broccoli and sprinkle Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder evenly. Season with salt and pepper to your taste. Toss everything thoroughly to ensure the broccoli is well coated with the seasoning mixture.
  4. Continue Roasting and Broiling: Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast the broccoli for an additional 10 minutes. Afterward, switch the oven to broil on high. Broil the broccoli for 5 to 10 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning, until the broccoli is browned and crispy to your liking.
  5. Serve: Remove the broccoli from the oven, transfer to a serving dish, and enjoy this delicious side dish immediately.

Notes

  • Keep a close eye while broiling to avoid burning the broccoli.
  • For extra crispiness, spread the broccoli in a single layer without crowding.
  • Feel free to substitute Parmesan with nutritional yeast for a dairy-free option.
  • Adjust the seasoning quantities to your taste preference.
