Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds broccoli, cut into small florets
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil (or any neutral oil)
  • ⅓ cup Vegan Parmesan Cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Optional-Steam for Extra Tenderness:
  • If you prefer softer broccoli, steam the florets in a steamer basket for 4-5 minutes until they turn bright green and are just fork-tender. Remove and let them cool slightly before seasoning.
  • Add the broccoli florets to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with oil, then sprinkle the vegan parmesan, salt, pepper, and paprika. Toss well to coat evenly.
  • Spread the seasoned broccoli in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the broccoli is tender-crisp. If you skip the steaming step, the baking time will be slightly longer.
  • Remove from the oven and enjoy the Roasted Broccoli with Vegan Parmesan immediately while warm and crispy.

Storing Suggestions

  • Roasted broccoli is best enjoyed fresh, while the edges are still crispy.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat in the air fryer, oven, or on the stovetop until warmed through and lightly crisp again.

Notes

  1. Broccoli: Cut the broccoli into even florets to ensure even roasting and browning.
  2. Steaming for Tenderness: If you prefer softer broccoli with crispy edges, steam for a few minutes before roasting. It also reduces the baking time by a few minutes. Let the steamed broccoli cool down slightly and dry for better roasting.
  3. Baking: Spread the broccoli florets in a single, even layer and use the large baking tray.
  4. Seasonings: Adjust the seasonings by adding more vegan parmesan, salt, and pepper before serving.
