    Garlic Parmesan Cauliflower and Broccoli Tips and FAQs

    • Be sure to break apart any large pieces so that they will cook evenly.
    • Don't add the garlic at the beginning with the salt and pepper. It will burn and become bitter.
    • Save time by purchasing broccoli and cauliflower florets that are already cut.
    Can I roast frozen broccoli?

    I do not recommend it. Frozen broccoli can get soggy quickly.

    Can I add lemon juice?

    Yes. I would recommend adding the lemon juice when you add the garlic and half of the parmesan before continuing to roast.

    Can I use pre-shredded parmesan?

    Fresh grated parmesan works best. Pre-shredded parmesan does not melt well.

    Can I roast broccoli with butter instead of oil spray?

    Yes, you'll need to melt the butter and make sure the broccoli is fully coated.

    Does parmesan cheese taste good on broccoli?

    Parmesan cheese is excellent with broccoli. It adds a savory, salty flavor.

    How do you keep cauliflower from getting soggy?

    By roasting completely in the oven, cauliflower will get a crispy roasted texture and you'll avoid it becoming soggy.
