Lemon Parmesan Roasted Broccoli
Simple and flavorful sides are a weekly necessity, and this Lemon Parmesan Roasted Broccoli makes for a great easy side dish. Add in any other veggies of your choice. This recipe would also work for cauliflower, asparagus, or brussels sprouts.
Getting in my daily veggies always seems to be a struggle. Raw veggies get so boring, especially in the cooler months. Having a warm, flavorful veggie side makes getting them in much more enjoyable!
Roasting until slightly brown and charred on the edges is just perfect. The garlic salt adds great flavor. I use the convection setting on my oven rather than the standard bake mode. It circulates the air better throughout the oven, and I don’t need to toss the veggies halfway through. I just find that you get a better overall roast using that setting. It’s certainly not mandatory though.
Finish the broccoli with fresh grated Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a tangy, nutty, peppery, salty bite. So good!

- Zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/4 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese

In a medium bowl, combine broccoli florets, olive oil, and garlic salt. Toss to combine, and spread onto the baking pan in an even layer. Roast for about 20 minutes or until edges are golden brown and crispy.
