Oven Roasted Broccoli- Quick, No Fuss Side Dish

I am going to admit something to you here.. I used to tolerate broccoli in meals, LOATHED broccoli alone. Then, once upon a time (last week!) instead of steaming my broccoli, I tossed it in the oven with some carrots and roasted them while dinner was going in my Instant Pot.

MY LIFE WAS FOREVER CHANGED. You guys, I’m kind of in love with broccoli now. I have roasted broccoli every. single. day. since.

I’ve eaten so much that Dan thought I was pregnant. Spoiler alert: I’m not. It’s just THAT good!

How to make Oven Roasted Broccoli + Tips!

First, break your broccoli into small, bite-sized pieces. Arrange on a large cookie sheet. Be aware that the broccoli will shrink A LOT while roasting, so load that pan up!

Next, I take my Canola oil spray (my non-stick cooking spray) and lightly coat the broccoli. Some will toss the broccoli in a small amount of canola oil, but I find they get overly saturated with oil that way. I like the spray much better.

Then I season the broccoli with salt and pepper. You can for sure let your inner creative out on this step! Garlic, seasoned salt, lemon pepper.. all would be delicious!

Roast in the oven at 450° for 15-20 minutes, shaking the broccoli around the pan at the halfway mark.

The broccoli will become slightly charred and crispy. There will still be a slight snap to the broccoli, which I completely love.

Serve alongside your favorite meal! I love to add this to my Instant Pot Alfredo! If you are looking for a lighter version, I have an Instant Pot Skinny Alfredo recipe you need to check out!

P.S. Sprinkling some powdered parmesan cheese on the broccoli is AMAZING!!
