Add even more flavor:

While the taste of this broccoli side dish is great as it is, but you can add either a little bit of lemon juice or lemon zest and a little bit or black pepper to enjoy a tasty fresh flavor.

Fresh or frozen broccoli florets?

Honestly you could use either. However, once you are to season the broccoli you will either want to use fresh broccoli florets or thawed frozen broccoli.
Thawed broccoli simply so that the seasoning will work best wit the broccoli.

Can you substitute garlic salt with just garlic cloves or garlic powder?

While yes, it will provide the delicious garlic flavor, but you will need to up the salt and sprinkle a little parsley as well.

Laura @ The Turquoise Home says:

This is my favorite broccoli recipe and pretty much the only way I like to eat it. You can also squeeze some fresh lemon juice on the broccoli after you pull it out of the oven, before you add the parmesan cheese. Yumm-o!!

carolyn archer says:

hi six sisters i love your recipes and have tried quite a few YUMMY ! but there is something i would like to ask if its possible to put the calorie content and fat content of these recipes as it wouldbe so helpful to me and a lot of people that like your recipes . thankyou and keep the recipes coming :) from caz in london , england .

Bev says:

I tried this and it's very good and was easy to make

Jose R says:

I made this last night and it was really good. I didn't bother with all that prepping tossing in bowl and garlic salt crap, I just washed, laid them on a small baking pan (lined with foil for easy cleaning) drizzled the oil and sprinkled Kosher salt on top. Covered and baked for about 20 mins. then I uncovered continue to bake for about 15 mins after topped with the cheese and just let the cheese melt on top. This process is better and a lot less mess to clean up.

Cari says:

These were very good. A little salty for me, so I'll use less salt next time (my cheese has a lot of salt in it). To answer a previous comment, the broccoli smell was really strong but it had dissipated by the next morning. But certainly something to consider if you're entertaining guests. :)

kt says:

Love this! Didn't have garlic salt so just pressed 1 clove of garlic and added to oil before tossing and then sprinkled with sea salt. Super delish and I don't usually like broccoli.

Michele says:

After this is pinned into Pinterest, it doesn't lead to the pin. You get "Page not found Return home? Just thought you should know.

Mandy says:

So I just pinned this, made it, and ate it within the last hour. It was SO good! I'm currently trying not to eat all the leftovers from it, and that's saying something because I'm usually the "leave the leftover veggies in the fridge to die" type. I didn't have parmesan though, so I subbed montery jack. I'm sure most any cheese would be great. Thanks!

Savannah says:

Can you use frozen broccoli?

Cyd says:

We have always used fresh broccoli with this recipe, but I'm sure frozen would work just fine too.

debbie patton says:

I added chopped cashews, bacon, and garlic along with salt and pepper. Next time I might add a little spice like chili powder..

Blair says:

This is the second recipe I've ever left a comment to in my life! There should be sooooo many comments about this amazing recipe! This is the only way my boyfriend will eat broccoli, and now it's the only way I ever want to eat it! It is absolutely delicious! Simple, fresh, and perfect! Thank you so much!

Laura says:

Have made this a few times since finding this recipe, and love it every time. Inexpensive, easy, quick, and so yummy!

Emily Thompson says:

If you're not a big garlic fan, use ground cumin instead! It sounds weird, but it works. Also, a squeeze of lemon juice at the end is ah-maze-ing! If you're sort of klutzy like me and can forget to set a timer, use avocado oil instead (it's available everywhere now...Target, Wal-Mart, Costco, Trader Joe's), because it has a higher smoke point, so it's more forgiving about a few extra minutes in the oven.
