Oven Roasted Broccoli is a tasty, spicy appetizer made by baking broccoli florets tossed with spices, cheese and olive oil. Oven Roasted Broccoli is a healthy starter compared to the packed frozen foods and a must try at home. Oven Roasted Broccoli Recipe is explained in this post with step by step pictures.
Broccoli has been a part of our menu these days so I make sure to try new recipes with it. It is not really easy to get fresh broccoli here all the time so whenever I get a chance I dont miss it.Whenever we visit Pazhamudhir I always search for fresh broccoli and it gives such satisfaction to see the fresh green veggie. I referred 2-3 sites from fg and tried this oven roasted broccoli, it came out so good that it just pops up like a candy, a perfect starter.

Oven Roasted Broccoli
Ingredients
- 2 cups broccoli cut into bite sized florets
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 small pearls garlic grinded to a fine paste
- 1/4 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp cheese I used cube cheese
- 2 tsp sesame seeds
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Boil water (just enough for the broccoli to immerse), while its boiling add the broccoli florets and let it cook for just 3mins (this step is purely optional but I do this to get rid of the worms if any). Switch off. Drain water and keep aside.
- In a mixing bowl add all the ingredients except sesame seeds listed along with broccoli, then add lemon juice.
- Add olive oil and give a quick stir.
- Lay an aluminum foil and arrange the broccoli florets, drizzle sesame seeds.
- Meanwhile preheat the oven at 215 deg C for 10mins.
- Then bake it in toast/pizza mode for 15-20mins(timing purely depends on your oven type)or until golden brown.
- Change the mode to grill for the last 2mins which gives the browning and makes the broccoli more crispier.
- Serve Oven Roasted Broccoli hot with any spicy dip or tomato sauce, it tastes good on its own too.
Notes
- Parboiling broccoli not only helps in avoiding worms but helps in holding the marination stick well.
- You can even add sesame seeds close to the end of the baking time say 5-7mins before the end time.
- Keep an eye after 10mins, as each oven takes different time to cook it.
- Once you set the mode to grilling be very carefully as the mode easily burns the veggie.
- You can use any type of cheese but parmesan cheese is much preferred, I used grated Amul cube cheese.
