Garlic parmesan broccoli is one of those recipes that quietly earns a permanent place in your rotation. It turns a simple vegetable into something deeply savory, slightly crisp, and genuinely craveable. With the right balance of garlic, fat, and cheese, broccoli becomes more than a side dish—it becomes the part of the meal people finish first.
What makes this dish work is restraint. The broccoli is cooked just enough to stay tender inside while developing golden edges, the garlic is fragrant but not harsh, and the parmesan adds depth without overwhelming the vegetable itself. Whether you roast it in the oven, finish it on the stovetop, or adapt it for an air fryer, garlic parmesan broccoli delivers reliable results with minimal effort.
