Friends, I’m back with a new recipe for you today: this Garlic Parmesan Roasted Broccoli side dish recipe! If you haven’t noticed, for the first time since I launched thebusybaker.ca I’ve been keeping up with a regular Monday, Wednesday, Friday posting schedule! That’s right – I’ve been giving you 3 new recipes each week for the month of January and I plan on keeping that up for the rest of 2018. So be on the lookout for all the new recipes that are coming your way, and be sure to subscribe to my email list so you don’t miss a single recipe!!
We used to play a game at the Mom’s Group I attended when my kids were babies called “I’ll never win mother-of-the-year because…” and we’d share all our hilarious parenting failures, just to make ourselves feel better and like we weren’t alone in the crazy journey of parenting. It was such a funny game and while I won’t share all my personal parenting failures here on the blog – and believe me there have been a few doozies, like the time I accidentally took my 3-year-old outside for a walk without her shoes on in November (insert face-palm emoji here)…she’s fine, by the way – I will say that one of my parenting successes has certainly been getting my kids to not only EAT their vegetables, but to LIKE them too.
That’s right, you read that correctly. My kids LIKE vegetables. In fact, they even LOVE them at times, depending on the current phase they’re in and depending, of course, on the vegetable in question. But I have to say I feel a rush of relief every time my kids argue with me about finishing the rice or potatoes left over on their plates after they’ve already devoured their vegetables. Eating their veggies is almost NEVER a fight and it is so, so sweet. It’s truly a parenting miracle, let me tell you, and its importance isn’t lost on me. Now if I could only figure out how to get them to clean up their toys…

I won’t get into all the reasons I think my kids are growing up to love vegetables (although if you’d like more information about my food philosophy with kids I’d be happy to share it – drop me a comment down below!!), but I will say that keeping it interesting when it comes to veggies certainly helps. That’s why side dishes like this Garlic Parmesan Roasted Broccoli is one of our favourites. Why settle for boring old steamed broccoli when you can roast it?!? With garlic! AND cheese!!! In 15 minutes or less!!

I think I just heard my tummy growl. lol! Must print the recipe.
Ha ha! Thanks! 🙂 Hope you enjoy!!
This is the way I most like it too. Not to offend anyone, but I’ll add that our family dog goes wild for it and my Brussels sprouts too :-). mart dog knows what is good for him eh.
Can this be baked ahead for transport and reheated after?
Yes, although it’s best if reheated in the oven!
Wife commented that it was absolutely delicious….so I guess that says something!!
Thanks!😁
I’m not posting to be mean. Just needed to share. I don’t know if I did something wrong but I followed the recipe to a T and it came out burnt and gross! Lol lol I laugh because at least I tried. I used the ‘roasting’ feature on my oven for the first time for this recipe. It came out black! Not burnt but blackened and didn’t taste good at all. Yes I tasted it YUCK LOL.im sorry but maybe some advice or your opinion on what I could do differently. I’ve had roasted broccoli before in restaurants and loved it. Please help?
My guess is the roasting feature is similar to the broiling feature, which means it would be too hot. I’d suggest using regular or convection.
I agree, bake it, DO NOT roast and/or broil it.
yes,if you have convection roast on your oven it is hot, try cooking it at 350 not 400.Found this out the hard way too!
I make an awesome cream of broccoli soup and I will make this first and then add it to the soup when blending. Thinking it will add a great depth of flavour. We love roasting any and all vegetables.
Yess!! That sounds delicious!🙂
Loved it, followed recipe exactly and my family loved it🙂
I’m so glad!! 🙂
This recipe is my go-to. It’s so easy and so tasty! Love it. Thank you for sharing your recipe!
Thanks so much Sue!! You’re welcome!
It’s very tasty thank you
Thanks so much Maria!!
Hi just wondering if I could use frozen broccoli. Thank you
I have never tried it myself so I couldn’t tell you, but if you do try, please let us know! Happy cooking ☺️
Yum! I love all roasted veggies.
Great recipe thank you! All I had on hand was a pack of frozen broccoli. I cook it from frozen and add the oil and spices, stir it up and pop into the oven. Someone mentioned scorching their broccoli. Set a timer and stir frequently to prevent that.
This is so good overtop plain pasta!
I’m so happy you enjoyed it! Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback!
