This really is the BEST Cheezy Roasted Broccoli with Garlic! It’s perfect for an easy vegetable side dish or healthy snack!
You guys, this roasted broccoli will change your life! Ok, that may be an overstatement, but it really is the best cheezy roasted broccoli with garlic! This is the kind of roasted broccoli that I can eat an entire pan of because it’s so good.
I’ve always been a fan of roasted broccoli, but adding in some nutritional yeast (the cheezy part) and granulated garlic just takes it to the next level 🙂
I’m pretty sure I’m going to be adding both those ingredients to all vegetables I roast from now on! I usually do roasted Brussels sprouts for the holidays but they can be really expensive (once I accidentally spent like $10 on a couple of pounds) and you can’t always find them a few days before the holiday.
So, I decided to come up with a roasted broccoli recipe that’s totally holiday side worthy and you’ll probably like it so much you’ll be making it all winter long! At least that is what I will be doing.
I love that broccoli is such a versatile vegetable. You can eat it raw with dip, steam it and add it to pastas or roast it and just eat it plain as a side dish. There’s so many delicious options, but roasting is definitely my favorite way to enjoy broccoli.
Recipe tips for The Best Cheezy Roasted Broccoli with Garlic:
- Feel free to use whatever kind of oil you prefer, you don’t have to use olive oil.
- You can also cut the amount of oil down if you don’t want to use so much. I just like making sure mine are all evenly coated with olive oil so they get nice and caramelized.
- The nutritional yeast is a must for this recipe if you want to get that nice cheezy taste!
- You can easily cut down or multiply this recipe if cooking for more or less people.

Yum!! I might have to do that this week 🙂
Very nice roasted broccoli. I could eat roasted broccoli every day, and sometimes have it by itself for lunch. Lemon on top is lovely too. Thanks for this recipe!

Awesome! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
So the title says “cheezy”. Where’s the cheese?
CheeZy, as in not actual cheese. The nutritional yeast acts as the cheese flavor
What aisle would “nutritional yeast” be found in?
Hi Susan, it depends on what grocery store but sometimes I can find it in the spice aisle. If you have a grocery store that has a bulk section you can find it there too.
Works great with cauliflower, too! So yummy.

Great idea!!
when you say “roast” do you actually mean just bake? Thanks!
technically speaking, roasting is when the oven temp is 400 or higher and baking is usually when the oven temp is just around 375 or lower
