Crispy roasted broccoli is an easy and delicious side dish. These fresh broccoli florets crisp up perfectly in under 1 hour and are a great way to add more greens into your diet or to eat as a delicious snack.
My sister and I absolutely love broccoli. Frozen broccoli sauteed in butter. It’s soooo good! We never really loved fresh broccoli, because it tasted very…fresh. But if you roast it with olive oil, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper, until crispy it’s divine!
How to Make The Best Oven-Roasted Broccoli:
Step 1. First, preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper, then set it aside.
Step 2. Rinse and cut fresh broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces. Add them to the sheet pan, with olive oil salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Mix until each floret is coated.
Step 3. Roast the broccoli until it is tender and crispy, 30 – 40 minutes.
Step 4. Serve and enjoy!

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it better to roast or boil broccoli?
It really depends on what you are doing with your broccoli. I prefer roasting because the flavor is better and it doesn’t taste watery. I usually eat it as a side dish or snack. However, if you are making broccoli and cheddar soup it is better to boil or steam it.
Do I need to wash broccoli before roasting?
Yes, it’s always important to wash your veggies before cooking and eating them. Just give them a quick rinse before chopping and you’re good to go!
Serving Suggestions:
- Eat it as a snack! I absolutely love it and I can eat the whole pan as a snack. It’s sooo good.
- Serve with roasted chicken, beef or fish for a filling meal.
- Farro, couscous, or quinoa all go great with roasted veggies.
- Towards the end of the cooking process top with cheddar cheese and chopped garlic.
