Notes
- I always recommend a block of parmigiano reggiano that you grate yourself compared to pre-grated cheese, for the most robust flavor.
- Heavy-duty commercial sheet pans are the best for not warping in the oven as well.
- To store in the fridge: Let it cool completely before storing it in an airtight container for 4 to 5 days. Just note that it will soften over time, and not be as crispy upon reheating.
- To freeze for later: Spread it out on a baking sheet to freeze individually before transferring it to a freezer-safe bag. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- If using frozen broccoli, you’ll roast them directly from the freezer at 450°F (230°C) for 25 to 30 minutes. Try to remove any excess ice before roasting. And just know that frozen broccoli will never get as crisp as fresh broccoli.
