Take-out Tuesday, Broccoli Candy
I have a little confession to make…as much as I love vegetables, I rarely eat broccoli
I HATE Broccoli is my very least favorite. I know it’s full of nutrients, so I decided to roast it like I do my other favorite vegetables
I adapted this from several different recipes that I found
sliced garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, olive oil…
and Parmesan! Everything is better with Parmesan!
Bake at 400 for 30-40 minutes until everything is happy and delicious
Broccoli Candy
Ingredients
- 1-2 large heads of broccoli cut into florets
- 2-3 garlic cloves sliced
- 1 lemon juice and zest
- 2-3 oz. shaved or shredded Parmesan divided
- salt & pepper
- olive oil
Instructions
- Put broccoli florets on a cooking oil sprayed foil lined baking sheet.
- Squeeze lemon and drizzle juice over broccoli. Season with salt, lemon zest, and pepper and drizzle with olive oil.
- Using your hands, toss florets around to distribute the oil, lemon and seasoning. Spread back out into an even layer and sprinkle with garlic slices and 1/2 of Parmesan cheese
- Bake at 400 about 30 minutes, or until done to your liking. Remove from oven and add remaining cheese. Return to oven 1-2 minutes to melt cheese. Makes 3-4 servings
Now, obviously this isn’t really candy, but you will find yourself popping it your mouth like M&Ms!
The cheese forms delightful crispy crusty bites, scoop it carefully off the foil to enjoy every morsel
Guess who loves broccoli now?

Hi Jenna, Broccoli is one of my least favorites veggies too, I don’t care for the smell when it’s cooking. I love almost any other veggie roasted in the oven though 🙂
Oh I love broccoli, it’s one of my favs Jenna! This sounds good, my son has taken to making something similar that he wants to show me during a Sunday dinner… Looking forward to it:@)
I usually only eat broccoli raw, but this looks really good, I will definitely try it!! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks Danielle, I could have eaten the whole pan!
