Balsamic & Parmesan Roasted Broccoli

5.0

2 Reviews

This healthy side dish recipe couldn't be simpler--or more delicious. Broccoli is roasted until brown and crispy, then topped with Parmesan cheese and balsamic vinegar for a savory and sweet flavor combination that can't be beaten. Try this quick vegetable dish along with chicken, fish or really any main course. It's also great in salads or warm grain bowls. Tip: Preheating the pan helps the broccoli to brown and develop nutty flavors.

Ingredients

  • 8 cups fresh broccoli florets (from 2 large heads)

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 ½ ounces Parmesan cheese, grated (about 1/3 cup)

  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

  • ¼ teaspoon flaky sea salt, such as Maldon

Directions

  1. Place a rimmed baking sheet on the middle oven rack; preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Leave the pan in the oven for 5 minutes after the oven has finished preheating.

  2. Meanwhile, combine broccoli and oil in large bowl; toss to coat. Spread the broccoli in an even layer on the hot baking sheet. Roast until starting to brown, about 17 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with Parmesan. Continue roasting until the broccoli is tender and the cheese has melted, 3 to 5 minutes more. Drizzle with vinegar, sprinkle with salt and serve immediately.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
