Broccoli: These little green florets are so easy to prep and hold up well when roasted. Plus, they’re full of good-for-you nutrients!

Olive oil: This adds flavor and keeps the broccoli from sticking to the pan.

How to Make Roasted Broccoli

There are only a couple of steps to this easy veggie side dish. Here’s a quick overview. Keep scrolling for the full recipe.

1. Prep the Broccoli

Heat your oven to 400°F, and place cut-up broccoli in a single layer on a large baking sheet pan. Toss the broccoli with chopped garlic and olive oil, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. You could also toss the ingredients together in a large bowl, and pour them out onto the sheet pan—although, then you have another dish to wash. We’re keeping things simple!

2. Roast the Broccoli

Roast for about 20 minutes. Keep an eye out for the edges starting to get browned, and you’ll know your broccoli is about done. Don’t wait too long, or your broccoli will burn.

3. Serve and Enjoy

Roasted broccoli is the perfect easy side dish for almost any meal. Try it with this yummy One-Pot Chicken Bacon and Ranch Pasta!

Storing and Reheating

If you have leftovers, you can keep them for another meal later in the week, but when you reheat them, the broccoli will be softer and less crispy than when freshly roasted.

Refrigerator

Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. We wouldn’t recommend freezing leftover roasted broccoli; it just won’t hold up.

Reheating

Microwave leftover roasted broccoli for 1 minute until warm. Since the broccoli is already browned, we wouldn’t recommend reheating it in the oven; it may get too dark and burn.
