Oven Roasted Broccoli with walnuts is a quick and healthy side dish that everyone will love. It’s crunchy, nutty and takes less than 20 minutes to make!
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard someone ask, can you oven roast broccoli? The short answer is yes, but there are a few things to keep in mind when making our side dish. Oven temperature, cooking time, and choosing the right oil are the key factors to a great oven roasted broccoli recipe.
As you will see in the photos, we chose a high-quality olive oil for our roasted broccoli. Additionally, Kim cooked them at 425 degrees F., the perfect roasting temp. She only let them cook for 8 to 10 minutes, any longer and the walnuts would burn.
Instructions:
- Start by preheating your oven to 425 degrees F.
- Next, wash, dry, and cut your broccoli into bite-sized pieces.
- Then, in a mixing bowl, combine the broccoli, oil, and walnuts. Toss everything together.
- Now, spread the mixture evenly on a sheet pan
- Last, put the pan in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until the florets begin to brown. Don’t overcook the dish!
- Serve while hot and add salt and pepper to taste.
Tips:
- Be sure to dry the broccoli completely or it will steam, not roast.
- If the dish cooks too long, the walnuts will burn.
- Consider adding red pepper flakes for a little kick of spice.
- Grated parmesan as a topping adds another layer of flavor to our oven roasted broccoli.
Side dish recipes like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and salads are great options to have on-hand. Kim and I invite you to try our oven roasted broccoli and see for yourself that healthy can be delicious!

This looks delicious. I get so tired of steamed broccoli, but I’m usually at a loss as to what to do instead. I’m really looking forward to trying this recipe soon.
Thank you, Cait! I know what you mean. Steamed broccoli gets old real quick. 🙂
So simple AND delicious! I love the double whammy of health benefits from broccoli and walnuts in this dish. Nice!
Thank you, Patricia! We try to be healthy. It probably doesn;t look that way given our recipes lol! To be honest though, most of the time, the desserts usually last awhile in our house. We are pretty strict about one serving a day 🙂
So fresh and easy! Pinning for later. YUM.
Thank you, Suzanne! I am glad you liked the recipe 🙂

I LOVE roasted broccoli, especially when it gets a little charred on the edges. And good idea to add some walnuts for crunch!
Thank you, Casey! Me too, I loved the charred pieces, it’s like the burnt ends of a brisket! Have a great day 🙂
My favorite way to eat veggies is when they are roasted! I haven’t tried any fun new recipes with broccoli yet, so I’ll definitely have to give this a try. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you, Amber! I think one the main reasons why people tend to dislike veggies is due to lack of variety. Just like anything else in life, you gotta spice things up from time to time lol! Thanks again for commenting! 🙂
