Recipe Notes

The broccoli will shrink down quite a bit after cooking. If you have a large family, you may want to double the recipe.

  2. I have been roasting my broccoli and other veggies like this for several years on a large sheet pan from Gordon Foods restaurant supply. I like the easy clean up, but was recently reading that I should be avoiding aluminum. I noticed you had a liner on your sheet pan. Could you tell me what kind?

    1. Yes! I love that liner and I am about to order a second one. Here is the kind I have. http://tinyurl.com/q3ezp5y

  3. Great recipe. I love roasted broccoli and cauliflower. One thing you can try adding is just a touch of sugar...perhaps 1/2 teaspoon? It provides just a slight hit of sweet and it aides in caramelization. Cheers!

  4. This is SO delicious. I have done something similar with both broccoli and cauliflower, except sprayed olive oil in a Misto and sprinkled on the seasonings. I eat it with my fingers off the cookie sheet right out of the oven. I can't even wait to get it on a plate it is so good.

  5. Hi. This looks great. I am going to try this tomorrow. Do you think I could do this with mushrooms and onions as well? Thanks!

      1. Hi. I ended up not trying the mushrooms and onions. I made your broccoli and it was delicious! I added a little extra garlic, lemon juice and put a few shakes of red pepper in because I love these ingredients. I am normally a meat and potatoes kind of girl, but you have turned me! I am going to make this again next week, but will probably roast 3 crowns of broccoli! Thanks!

  7. Nice recipe Melissa. I've always loved how roasting a broccoli looks like the autumn foliage of the trees :) Although, thinking this way of the broccoli just bumps my love to them and makes the meal even tastier :)

  14. I do the same thing but I grill it. In the grill it only takes a few minutes. Just grill on low and turn it after 4 minutes or so depending on your grill. Grill another 3 or 4 minutes and it is done. We like it with a little bite to it and it gets that wonderful smoky grill flavor. It is so good that I often have just a bowl of grilled broccoli for dinner. I like to marinate it a few hours before grilling so all the flavors melt into the broccoli. You have to try it grilled!
