best roasted broccoli recipe ever!

now i know that i have seen a 'best broccoli' ever recipe on pinterest before. well i've tried it and i actually thought it was kinda terrible. but one night when my sisters and i got together for dinner, one of them (krysta) brought the fixings to make this healthy side dish. since then, i seriously could buy stock in broccoli lol. this ihas become a staple side in my house and i make it atleast two to three times a week! (i still cant get my kids to try anything green but my husband loves this recipe!)

Roasted Broccoli
from krysta

1 to 2 lbs fresh broccoli (make sure that it is thoroughly dried if you clean it)
2 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves
2 tbsp mccormicks grill mates fiery 5 pepper blend
pinch garlic salt
fresh grated parmesan cheese to taste
**please note that these are all estimated measurements as i never measure anything!**


preheat oven to 350. (though it doesnt HAVE to be this temp. i have roasted this broccoli in an oven at varying temps when i have something else in the oven. it always comes out good. you just have to check on it every so often to see if its browned to your liking.)

line pan with aluminum foil. cut broccoli into florets and put on pan. drizzle olive oil on top. sprinkle seasoning on top. grate cloves of garlic over broccoli and spread it around as best you can. grate some cheese on top and mix broccoli.

place in oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until a deep green color with nice dark edges. half way through, you can pull out the broccoli and mix it on the pan but its not necessary. it will be both soft and crispy (and amazing) when done. i hope that you enjoy this recipe as much as my husband and i have.

i also want to add that i have tried this recipe with fresh green beans and my husband LOVED them as well... he said that they were even better than the broccoli!
