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.

How to Make Oven Roasted Broccoli:

  • 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.

All of the oven roasted broccoli ingredients combined in a glass bowl for mixing.

  • 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.

    • 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 🙂

    • 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! 🙂
