Make this Broccoli Oven Recipe of Caramelized Roasted Broccoli in only 25 minutes. Your kids might even eat this delicious Roasted Broccolini with cheese.
We all know we need to add more vegetables to our diet and we all try to serve them to our kids. But no matter how many veggies we put on the table, if no one eats them, it’s all in vain.
I really can’t blame anyone for not eating some vegetables. When they are overly steamed or boiled and are bland and limp, I wouldn’t eat them either.
But we have something today that might change their minds, our Roasted Broccolini Recipe! It’s a delicious caramelized roasted broccoli recipe topped with parmesan cheese.

We have discovered over the years that we like our veggies cooked to just the point where they still have an inner crunch but are not raw and we always prefer seasonings such as fresh citrus.
Besides who wants to overcook this gorgeous veggie? Not me and I are sure not you. And our Roasted oven Broccoli method will cook them to perfection.
And just a note, overcooking broccoli (especially boiling) can cause it to lose not only its a beautiful color but a lot of its nutritional punch.
I remember when I first discovered broccoli. We would buy those little-frozen bags of broccoli with a runny cheesy colored stuff that we would microwave. Yeah, that got me eating broccoli but it didn’t make me any healthier. And now that I look back, that sauce wasn’t really that good.
And one of the best secrets to cooking broccoli and getting the kids to eat it is roasting. A caramelized broccoli brings out all the sweetness but still retains all that gorgeous color.
This Roasted Brocolini is made with seasonings of freshly squeezed lemon juice, garlic cloves, plenty of salt and freshly ground black pepper. These seasonings will greatly help the chances of getting those little ones to try these vitamin-rich veggies.
Whether you add a cheese sauce or sprinkle the Roasted Broccolini with freshly grated cheese, either one would work for me and probably for your little ones. We hope you enjoy our Roasted broccoli and try it to make the best caramelized broccoli for your family.
