Steps:
- Place a rack in the center of your oven (if baking the broccoli on one sheet pan) and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. For easy clean-up, line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. (If you will be using two sheet pans, place the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and line two baking sheets.)
- Prep the stem: Cut the broccoli stalk away from the head with florets. Place the stem on your cutting board, and trim off the outer edge along one of its long sides (you want to cut away about ¼ inch). Turn the cut side down onto your cutting board and trim off the next side. Repeat with the remaining two sides. You should be left with a rectangular-shaped piece of the stem's core (and it is delish!). If your remaining stem is large, cut it into pieces that are about 2 or 3 inches long and ½-inch wide. Place the cut pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Discard the outer parts of the stem you chopped away.
- Cut the crowns into large, flat florets: If your crowns are small (about 3 or 4 inches in diameter), cut them into 8 wedges. If they are larger, cut them into 10 wedges. You want the florets to be roughly 1 1/2 to 2-inches wide at the top and 1/2 to 3/4-inch or so thick. These will be a bit larger than the florets you are used to seeing, but TRUST ME, it works. Add them to the sheet with the stems. (See photos in the blog post for guidance).
- Drizzle the broccoli with the oil and sprinkle with the salt, sugar, and pepper. Toss to combine and evenly coat.
- Spread the broccoli into an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring that the pieces have plenty of room for air to circulate. If the broccoli is crowded, divide it between two sheets. Flip the florets so that the largest cut side is touching the pan.
- Bake the broccoli for 20 minutes, then flip. Rotate the pan 180 degrees and continue baking for 5 to 10 additional minutes, until it is tender and the tips of the florets are turning dark and crispy (if baking on two sheet pans, switch the pans' positions on the upper and lower rack when you flip). Add any toppings of choice. Enjoy immediately.

CRISPY PARMESAN BROCCOLI
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Combine the broccoli, garlic, 1 tablespoon oil and some salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add the remaining tablespoon oil to coat the bottom of a large ovenproof skillet, preferably cast iron. Add the cheese in an even layer followed by the broccoli. Roast until the broccoli is slightly browned and the cheese is golden brown and crispy, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the ranch, sriracha, lime zest and juice in a small bowl. Remove the skillet from the oven and drizzle the sauce all over the broccoli.
CRISPY SHEET-PAN BROCCOLI
Three heads of broccoli spread across two sheet pans may seem like a lot. But when broccoli is this tender, crispy, and caramelized, it's hard to stop eating it right off the pan.

Steps:
- Set the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat it to 425°F.
- Line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide the broccoli between the sheets, arranging them in a single layer. Drizzle each sheet of broccoli with ¼ cup oil, then season each with ½ teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Roast, stirring once and rotating the sheets halfway through, until the broccoli is crispy and charred in spots, 35 to 40 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if desired.

Tips:
- Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilted florets.
- Cut the broccoli into uniform florets: This will help them cook evenly. If the florets are too large, they may not cook through.
- Toss the broccoli with oil and seasonings: This will help them crisp up in the oven. You can use olive oil, avocado oil, or even melted butter. As for seasonings, salt and pepper are always a good choice, but you can also add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or chili powder.
- Roast the broccoli at a high temperature: This will help them get crispy. Aim for a temperature between 425°F (220°C) and 450°F (230°C).
- Roast the broccoli until it is tender-crisp: This usually takes about 10-15 minutes. You can check the broccoli by piercing it with a fork. It should be tender, but still have a slight bite to it.
- Serve the broccoli immediately: Roasted broccoli is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. You can serve it as a side dish or as a main course. It also makes a great addition to salads, soups, and stir-fries.
Conclusion:
Roasted broccoli is a delicious and healthy side dish that is easy to make. It is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Roasted broccoli can be enjoyed on its own, or it can be added to other dishes. It is a versatile vegetable that can be used in a variety of ways.
