Three heads of broccoli spread across two sheet pans may seem like a lot. But when broccoli is this tender, crispy, and caramelized, it's hard to stop eating it right off the pan.
Ingredients
Step 1
Set the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat it to 425°F.
Step 2
Line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide the broccoli between the sheets, arranging them in a single layer. Drizzle each sheet of broccoli with ¼ cup oil, then season each with ½ teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Roast, stirring once and rotating the sheets halfway through, until the broccoli is crispy and charred in spots, 35 to 40 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if desired.

Back to TopI hsave been roasting my broccoli this way for many years. Now that it is just me I do it in a cast iron skillet in the oven at the same temperature. Left overs cold for lunch the next day.

I don’t review often but this was incredible. So simple and so delicious. Better than french fries ... well maybe not but real close.

I have been roasting broccoli and other vegetables this way for several years. My husband doesn't like broccoli but he will eat it cooked this way. The sweet caramelized florets have a wonderful flavor. I usually prewarm the pans and add vegetables directly to the hot pan when the oven reaches temperature. For quick clean-up, parchment paper works well. The key is to get the florets to be about the same size, so cut the thicker ones.
