I love finding new ways to cook broccoli and, since I absolutely love roasted vegetables, I knew this was the way to go. This recipe is a quick, easy, healthy and delicious side dish that is appropriate for any occasion. For a similar dish using a different cooking method, see the Braised Broccoli with Garlic and Parmesan Cheese in the similar and related recipes.
Preheat oven to 450° F. Clean the broccoli pieces and allow to dry. Place on a large, shallow baking sheet in one layer. Add the garlic, marjoram, salt, pepper and drizzle with the olive oil. Toss to combine. Roast until tender, about 30 minutes, depending on size (see notes below). Sprinkle with the cheese and return to oven for about 2 minutes. Serve hot, warm or room temperature.
Notes: The broccoli should get a little brown. If it gets too brown before it is tender, cover lightly with foil. The oven temperature can be lowered if baking another dish, adjusting cooking time as needed.
