Clean and dry the broccoli before cutting the florets into small bite size pieces (save the stems for another time).
Place all the florets in a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, powder, and Parmesan cheese. Using your hands, toss all of the ingredients together being sure that all the broccoli has a nice thin coating of the oil and spices.
Spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray and place all the broccoli on the sheet. Be sure that the broccoli is not over crowded.
Pop in the oven for 15 minutes and then flip the broccoli and pop back in for another ten minutes or until the broccoli is tender on the inside and crispy on the edges. Enjoy!

Susan McCarthy on 2026-07-08 (5 stars): Believe it or not I've made this with a bag of frozen broccoli by increasing the oven temp and preheating the pan.
Nina on 2023-03-20 (5 stars): My kids LOVE this recipe. The key is keeping the broccoli dry since she is 100% correct if it is still wet it will steam instead of crisp. I can never make enough of this - they literally argue over the last piece!! It is a regular staple at our house. My kids also love the Turkey Veggie Chili recipe if you haven't tried that yet. When I told my kids that both recipes came from the same website, they discovered Dani Spies and Clean and Delicious. Over time they've now made a bunch of her recipes, and recently have started meal planning some of their breakfasts, lunches and afterschool snacks since I've told them they are allowed to have any recipe on this site (so long as their overall day is balanced.) Thank you so much Dani!
Super on 2020-03-29 (5 stars): This is now my favourite snack!
David on 2016-11-23 (5 stars): Hi Melissa! Just wondering: do you do broccoli and cauliflower together, or separately? Is the cooking time about the same, or different? I'm already a broccoli fiend, but only just begun to appreciate cauliflower (that hasn't been cooked to almost-puree consistency, lol). So I'd love to incorporate cauli into my cooking prep, too. Thanking you in advance! :)
Kerstin on 2015-11-20 (5 stars): Hi Dani,
I am a fond fan of your recipes and have cooked a lot of them. One of my favorites is the popcorn broccoli, at least once a week! ;-) I liked your suggestion of the broccoli stem soup in order not to waste them, very good. I created another way to use them: just grate them with a rasp into a bowl and add salt pepper, a bit of olive oil and a splash of vinegar; it makes a delicious fresh salad tasting very good instantly. If liked, add some nuts, almonds, sesame kernels ... Bon appetite and Happy Thanksgiving! ~~ Kerstin ;-)
Mau on 2015-03-11 (5 stars): I NEED to try this ASAP. Sounds and looks absolutely delightful.
Karl on 2013-12-30 (5 stars): I have been looking for a way to create really satisfying roast broccoli for years. Your video contained the secret I had been missing--dry the flowerets and don't crowd them in the pan. Really simple and obvious (after the fact) but it was something I wasn't able to figure out on my own.
Thank you for creating this video Dani! I look forward to trying your other recipes.
Shannon on 2013-07-31 (5 stars): Thank you for this video, Dani. I am having this with chicken right now and it is fannnntastic!
Kat on 2013-07-15 (5 stars): I was searching for an asparagus recipe, but really wanted to try this, so I decided to be experimental and try the recipe, substituting asparagus for the broccoli. And you know what? I LOVE it! And my non-asparagus-loving offspring proclaimed, "This will be great when you use broccoli instead of asparagus!" So, I consider that a win ;-) I will be trying out the broccoli version in the very near future :)
Olga on 2013-06-03 (5 stars): I hate broccoli and I came across this website while googling for some delicious recipes which contain my "beloved" veggie.
I made the mixture and before put it in the oven I decided to try it raw... Guess what? I love it!!!!!!! I could eat the whole bowl just like that but I stopped myself... The next thing... while it was still sitting on the counter and I was mixing it, I got 2 compliments from my fellows at home - how good kitchen smells, what are you making?
Well.. I burnt it and I don't really know how the final result is supposed to taste, but I am in love with raw broccoli in your coating!
Any other ideas how I can eat this veggy? :)
Tracey on 2012-04-12 (5 stars): I make this all the time, it's a huge favorite at our house. I've never tried it with parmesan though, I'll try that next time.
Melinda Neely on 2012-03-27 (5 stars): This is a go-to dish in my household as well. I haven't tried adding parm, though, and will try it out tonight!
I can't believe your baby is already 9 months old. So cute!
Kelly on 2012-03-18 (5 stars): Just made this and I am in love! I cannot thank you enough for your videos and recipes. I have always enjoyed eating healthy, but my husband prefers 'greasy goodness'. I had him try a few of your dishes and now he will willingly eat the healthy meals I prepare from you site. Keep it up, Dani!
