If you love broccoli, then try my Healthy broccoli cheddar soup or this creamy chicken broccoli soup.
This simple oven baked broccoli recipe is made with some cheddar cheese coating and comes out really cheesy, tasty and crispy. Enjoy as a snack, side dish or appetizer. Get your kids eating more broccoli and veggies by dressing them up a bit and making it more interesting. Broccoli may not be everyone’s favorite vegetable, not just kids, but how you prepare it will make a huge difference in the taste. I love this so much and I mostly enjoy it alongside some Honey mustard grilled chicken or this cilantro lime grilled salmon.

My Pro Tip
Recipe Tip
- I recommend using fresh broccoli and not frozen. The texture and consistency will vary. Also, try not to over cook the broccoli.
Frequently Asked Questions
Broccoli holds a lot of water. You may have used frozen broccoli or the broccoli still had a lot of water when you washed it. Try using fresh broccoli if possible and pat the broccoli dry really well with a paper towel
I highly recommend using fresh broccoli for best results. Using frozen broccoli will not yield the same freshness and crunchiness.
Soaking raw broccoli in a mixture of water and vinegar will help kill most of the germs that will be in the broccoli and help remove and bugs and debris.
