Ingredients

• 500 g broccoli florets
• 250 g cherry tomatoes
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.25 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets. Cut any large florets into smaller bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

Wash the cherry tomatoes and set them aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss until the broccoli is evenly coated with the seasonings.

Step 5

Spread the broccoli evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd the pieces. Reserve the cherry tomatoes for later.

Step 6

Place the broccoli in the preheated oven and roast for 15 minutes.

Step 7

After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and scatter the cherry tomatoes over the partially roasted broccoli.

Step 8

Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 10 minutes, or until the broccoli is crispy and slightly charred, and the cherry tomatoes are soft and bursting.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the hot broccoli and tomatoes.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a flavorful side dish or a light vegetarian meal. Enjoy!
