Crispy, savory, and sneakily addictive—this oven-roasted broccoli transforms a humble veggie into an elevated side dish packed with flavor and fiber. Roasted until golden and tossed with real butter, garlic, and Parmesan, it’s a simple, feel-good way to get more greens on your plate (and actually enjoy it).

Ingredients
Serves 2

• 2 cups fresh broccoli florets

• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. In a bowl, toss broccoli with melted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

3. Spread florets in a single layer on the baking sheet to encourage even browning.

4. Roast for 15–20 minutes, flipping once, until edges are crisp and slightly charred.

5. Remove from oven, return to the bowl, and sprinkle with Parmesan. Toss to coat and serve warm.

Nourish Notes

• Roasting brings out the natural sweetness in broccoli while keeping its fibrous bite, supporting digestion and blood sugar stability.

• Parmesan adds umami and calcium without overpowering the veggie.

• Perfect as a quick-prep luteal phase side dish or anytime you crave something warm and nourishing but don’t want to overthink it.
