Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Cooking
- In a large bowl, combine the broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until the broccoli is evenly coated.
- Transfer the tossed broccoli to a baking sheet, spreading the florets in a single layer for even roasting.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the broccoli for about 15 minutes until the edges start to crisp and turn golden.
- Remove the broccoli from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the florets.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 5-10 minutes, watching closely until the cheese melts and turns golden brown.
- Your broccoli is done when tender and the tops are golden. Avoid overcooking to maintain crunch.
- Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and serve warm.
