How to Make Our Oven Roasted Broccoli Steaks Recipe
- When you are ready to make your dish, begin by preheating the oven 425℉.
- Then wash and dry the broccoli and then slice the broccoli into 4 thick “steaks”. Start by cutting the broccoli in half from the stem up, and then do the same again with each half.
- Once the broccoli is cut, place the broccoli slices on a large baking sheet (you can line the baking sheet with foil if you want easy clean up afterwards).
- Now, in a small mixing bowl add the olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic and mix it all together.
- Then, use a pastry brush and brush the broccoli steaks with the olive oil mixture until they are well covered to get the best flavor and texture.
- When the olive oil mixture has been brushed on, sprinkle on the salt and pepper to your tastes.
- Next, place the sheet of broccoli in the oven and let them cook for about 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes remove the pan from the oven and flip the broccoli and place the ban back in the oven and let them cook for another 10 minutes or so until the broccoli starts to slightly brown.
- When the broccoli is roasted to your liking, remove the broccoli and sprinkle on the parmesan cheese and then serve it hot!
