Ingredients
- 1½pounds broccoli, cut into 1½- to 2-inch-long florets, stems sliced ¼-inch thick
- 3tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- 2garlic cloves, finely chopped
- ¾packed cup/3 ounces coarsely grated extra-sharp Cheddar
Preparation
-
Arrange a rack at the bottom of the oven and heat to 425 degrees. On a parchment paper-lined sheet pan, toss the broccoli with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer, cut sides down, and roast on the bottom rack, without flipping, until browned and crisp-tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
-
Sprinkle the broccoli with the garlic, stir to combine, then spread the broccoli in an even layer. Sprinkle with the Cheddar, then roast until the cheese is melted and nearly all golden brown, 6 to 9 minutes. Let cool a few minutes for the cheese to crisp. Use a spatula to transfer the broccoli and all the cheese to plates.
