    Oven Roasted Broccoli with Garlic and Olive Oil is a fresh, quick, and flavorful way to add vegetables to your weeknight dinners. This broccoli is bright, crunchy, and packed with flavor.

    At our house, we love vegetables. (My husband Michael can eat an entire bag of spinach in one sitting.) One of our favorite things to do is a quick and simple roast of whatever vegetables we have. Roasted Broccoli with Olive Oil and Garlic is one of our favorites.

    🥘 Ingredient Notes

    The ingredients for roasting broccoli in the oven, labeled.

    🥣 How to Make It

    Roasted broccoli is quick and easy to make.

    First, preheat your oven to 375°F. 

    Next, chop up a head of broccoli into somewhat bite-sized pieces. 1 - 2-inch chunks are ideal. (You can save the stem/stalk and leaves that you trim off for making bone broth or soup.) Then, finely chop 3 - 4 cloves of garlic and (optionally) dice half of a medium-sized onion. (The onion is optional but does add some more flavor!)

    Place the chopped broccoli and optional onion in a large bowl.

    Drizzle 3 - 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over the chopped broccoli. (Picture 1)

    Season with garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. (Pictures 2 - 3) Toss to combine. (Picture 4)

    Spread your broccoli out on a baking sheet with a non-stick mat, parchment paper, or on some foil for easier cleanup! (Picture 5)

    How Long Do You Cook Roasted Broccoli For?

    Roast your broccoli for 10 - 15 minutes, then toss the broccoli and rotate your cookie sheet 180° to ensure even cooking. Bake for another 10 - 15 minutes until broccoli is fork-tender but not mushy. If you use onions, they should be translucent. *Cooking time may vary just a little based on the size of your broccoli pieces and how well you spread them out on your cookie sheet. Longer cooking time will make the broccoli softer.

    🍳 Serving Suggestions & Uses

    Serve roasted broccoli with any dinner for a quick and delicious meal. We recently enjoyed our broccoli with Instant Pot Chicken and Buttery Garlic Smashed Potatoes!

    🥫 Storage/Shelf Life/Reheating

    Store leftover broccoli (once cooled) in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. You can reheat your broccoli in the microwave (it will lose some crunch this way) or reheat it for 5 - 10 minutes in the oven at 300°F.

    🙋‍♀️ Frequently Asked Questions

    Can you roast frozen broccoli? If so, for how long?

    Yes, you absolutely can roast frozen broccoli. Do NOT let it thaw - just toss it in oil and season it, then spread it on a pan. Increase the heat though and roast at 425°F - 450°F. This will keep the broccoli from getting soggy.

    Can you use garlic powder in place of garlic?

    Absolutely. I like to use 1 - 2 teaspoons of garlic powder per head of broccoli when I am out of garlic.

    Equipment

    • non-stick baking mat
    • a cookie/baking sheet
    • a mixing bowl

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 head broccoli
    • 2 - 3 cloves garlic, minced or finely chopped
    • 3 - 4 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper
    • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional

    Optional

    • ½ medium onion, diced

    Instructions
     

    • First, preheat your oven to 375°F.
    • Next, chop up a head of broccoli into somewhat bite-sized pieces. Then, finely chop 3 - 4 cloves of garlic and (optionally) dice half of a medium-sized onion. (The onion is optional but does add some more flavor!)
    • Place the chopped broccoli and optional onion in a large bowl.

    • Spread your broccoli out on a baking sheet with a non-stick mat, parchment paper, or on some foil for easier cleanup!

    • Serve with any dinner for a quick and delicious meal.

    Notes

    Cooking time may vary based on the size of your broccoli pieces and how well you spread them out on your cookie sheet. Extra cooking time will make the broccoli softer - we prefer to keep it crunchy. You can also add cauliflower or carrots to your bake to mix it up!

    Serving Suggestions & Uses
