My over roasted broccoli recipe is one of my family’s favorites. My four year old said to me the other day, “Mom, I love broccoli but yucky to all the other vegetables.” Although I’m happy she loves her broccoli, this isn’t how any of this works, kid. You’re still eating the other vegetables too. I’m happy my family loves this as a side dish for dinner or just a snack in general, but I will tell you why I love this dish. It’s easy, quick, and healthy. One of the hardest parts of eating healthy is finding food that is quick but healthy to eat. The broccoli roasts in 15 minutes or less and tastes even better each time.
This broccoli recipe also works as a perfect meal prep side dish. I meal prep for my husband and I every week. Oven roasted broccoli is always a must for both of us. The hardest part is not eating them all while meal prepping! Especially my snacking culprit husband.
Before we get started a quick note- we all know broccoli and mac and cheese are a match made in heaven. If you love the broccoli and mac and cheese pairing as much as I do then give either of the linked mac and cheese recipes a try! Now let’s get to cooking!
