Roasted Garlic Parmesan Broccoli is an easy side dish that’s bursting with flavor. Fresh broccoli is tossed with a mixture of garlic and Parmesan cheese, which results in a slightly crisp texture and seasoned to perfection. Prepped and cooked in one pan, you’ll have this roasted vegetable ready in no time!
Now that the weather is finally getting warmer (hello, spring!), I’ve been cravings lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.
There’s just something about the fresh spring air that makes me want to start eating a little bit lighter and a little bit healthier. So, every time I go to the grocery store, I load up on lots of strawberries, asparagus, blueberries, and broccoli. The hubster loves eating fresh fruit as part of his lunch, and I love using the veggies for a dinner side dish or snack.
But before a few weeks ago, I couldn’t even remember the last time I bought broccoli! It’s one of those veggies that I love, but always seem to forget about.
I do love ordering it in restaurants, though. In fact, my favorite restaurant (Cooper’s Hawk Winery for those of you who are lucky to have it around you) makes the most delicious steamed broccoli. The hubster, who doesn’t like broccoli (I know, I know), even likes it. He always orders a filet there and it comes with a side of their fresh, steamed broccoli. So you know what that means…I steal it from him (or, ahem share with him), and savor every last bite.
So, since I’m a food blogger and I realized that I’ve never shared a broccoli recipes with you, it was time to change that. But I decided to take it one step further and pair this Roasted Garlic Parmesan Broccoli my favorite brand of frozen seafood. Which means that you’re 20 minutes away from having an easy and delicious dinner idea. Sounds pretty good, right?
I first had the opportunity to try Bumble Bee SuperFresh® when I made this Tilapia with Roasted Vegetable Pasta. I was hooked on the fresh flavors and convenience of preparing this fish. So when I was thinking of an easy meal idea, I immediately turned to Bumble Bee SuperFresh® once again. It’s naturally-seasoned and restaurant quality seafood that can be prepared at home. It definitely raises the bar on what you can expect from frozen seafood!
Another reason why I enjoy Bumble Bee SuperFresh® is that it’s quick and easy to prepare. The Salmon and Tilapia comes with their own parchment paper baking pouch, which means that this fish can go from the freezer to your dinner table in no time. It also means that there are no fishy smells, just amazing seafood, ready to be devoured. It’s high in protein and seasoned with simple ingredients.
Since I enjoy this seafood, I decided to try Bumble Bee SuperFresh® Salmon with Garlicky Black Pepper & Extra Virgin Olive Oil. You can slip this fish into its own parchment paper and let your oven work its magic. Fast, easy and delicious, this is my new favorite salmon that’s ready in just 20 minutes.
And since I’m all about simple meals, the Bumble Bee SuperFresh® Salmon makes a perfect dinner, along with some roasted broccoli.

This looks like the perfect side dish! Everyone in our house loves broccoli so it’s definitely my go-to option when I want the boys to eat their veggies. 🙂
And that Bumblebee seafood is SO good, right?! I keep it in my freezer for easy dinners when I know that I won’t have time to cook. It’s healthy, too!
Gayle says
Thank you, Blair! If only my husband loved broccoli as much as I do! 🙂 And yes, I love Bumblebee seafood…it’s my favorite!

I also tend to love broccoli but forget to make it at home. It’s so much more fun to order at a restaurant! But this recipe might change my mind on that. I love Parmesan on my broccoli!
Gayle says
Thanks, Mir! The Parmesan adds the perfect amount of flavor to this dish!
Cheyanne @ No Spoon Necessary says
Giiirl, I feel your broccoli love. The hubster makes fun of me because I eat it daily. No joke, I always have it in the fridge 24/7/365. Roasted is the bomb and yours looks perfect!

Michelle | The Secret Ingredient Is says
For some reason dinner side dishes are always something I struggle to get creative with, and I pretty much always fall back on the same salad every night. Broccoli is one of my favorite veggies so I absolutely love this dish and definitely need to switch up my side dish routine, I’m sure the roasted garlic and parmesan is a perfect combination with the broccoli!
Gayle says
Thank you, Michelle! I sometimes struggle with side dishes, too…but now that I’m hooked on broccoli, I’ve been making it ALL the time! 🙂
Dawn @ Girl Heart Food says
I get so excited when I go to the grocery store, especially when there’s an abundance of gorgeous fruit and veggies. Sometimes I tend to overbuy, but everything looks so good, especially in the Spring/Summer months. I love broccoli, as does hubby, so we regularly have. This recipe looks delicious, Gayle! I actually prefer roasted over steamed. This is the perfect side for dinner. Yummy 🙂
Gayle says
Thank you, Dawn! I just love this time of year when the produce is fresh and so green. Roasted broccoli is my favorite way to prepare it, too!
