If you’ve never Roasted Garlic you might not understand why this recipe for Roasted Broccoli with Garlic is so special, but trust me. This is not only one of the easiest broccoli recipes I’ve made, but also one of the tastiest broccoli dishes you can imagine.
Roasting sweetens the garlic and brings out the flavor of the broccoli in a most delightful way. Try it once and I’ll bet whenever you’re cooking something in the oven, tossing in some broccoli to roast is going to be your favorite way to cook broccoli. And this recipe couldn’t be healthier or more versatile; hope you will try it soon!
Cut up 1 large bunch of broccoli into bite-sized flowerets. (This is about 1 1/2 pounds of broccoli.) The original recipe said 6-8 large cloves of garlic, but now I use about twice that much. Slice the garlic into slices if the pieces are big. Toss together the broccoli pieces, sliced garlic cloves, olive oil, salt and pepper and stir around until the broccoli pieces are well-coated with the oil. Arrange garlic on a cookie sheet so the pieces are in a single layer as much as possible. (If the broccoli is too crowded the pieces will steam instead of roasting.) Roast 20-25 minutes, or until broccoli is bright green and starting to brown.

Missy, that's fun to hear!
I love broccoli pretty much any way, but there isn't much that would not be better with a little {or a lot} of roasted garlic
This is one of my most favorite ways to eat broccoli as well – sooooo good!
I'm from Spain, country in which no missing recipe garlic. This roast you've done is very Spanish.To preserve garlic peeled, nothing better than to put it in glass bottles filled with olive oil and put them in the fridge. Although we, Spaniards have it with your skin out and peel them and chop (or not) when are we going to cook.
Hi Sara, fun hearing how it's done in Spain!
Would this dish reheat well?
I wouldn't say this would reheat particularly well. It would be okay reheated, but it would never have the slightly-crisp texture that makes it so good right out of the oven.
I just started SB Diet and I found your blog, I love the healthy ingredients and SPICES in all of your recipes. I am a total foody, so dieting is hard for me, but I am determined to lose 40 pounds and feel better. I have enjoyed this site so much and the few recipes I have tried so far I absolutely LOVE!! I am going to do Alice Springs Chicken Casserole, with the cauliflower alfredo and roasted broccoli with garlic tonight. I truly don't feel like I am missing much on this diet!! Well, except the glass of vino with dinner but that will come in later phases. Thank you again~ Michelle
Michelle, so glad the recipes are helpful for you! And you can do it!
very nice
Thanks Miles!
This looks delicious! Can't wait to try it. Just wanted to make a suggestion, your site doesn't display well when you try print it. Any chance you could add the recipe in one of the printer friendly plug ins? If you're not sure what I'm talking about, it's those boxes you see on different food blogs and sites. The recipe is in the box, then when a user goes to print it, it just prints that box.
Rachel, I am not on WordPress so I can't use a plug-in like you're referring to. But if you click the printer-friendly link after the actual recipe, that should print perfectly. I print my own recipes all the time and never have problems.
Silly question, for convenience I only use jarred pre minced garlic. Should I adjust the cooking for that at all or do I need to use real sliced garlic? I’m thinking I might try the trick the person from Spain commented with. 😀
I do use the minced garlic in a jar for some recipes too. But for this recipe I worry the garlic will burn in such small pieces. I can’t say for sure since I haven’t made it that way, but I don’t think I would recommend it.
Thank you!!! I’ve literally never had broccoli I like (my parents are of the generation which thinks boiling veggies is the right thing to do). This broccoli tastes so so good and I’m so glad I finally tried it! My pan was way too big though so the garlic ended up crisping up like little garlic chips. it’s ok for be because I weirdly enjoy burnt garlic but others might be warned that a giant pan could result in an undesirable garlic situation.
Glad you enjoyed it so much! Roasting is the absolute best way to cook vegetables, imho!

Do you rinse and dry the broccolli first
I prefer not to, unless you really think it needs it. If the broccoli does have to be rinsed, get it as dry as you can before roasting.
