This Copycat Longhorn Broccoli recipe delivers restaurant-quality flavor in just 20 minutes. Fresh broccoli is tossed with buttery garlic and Parmesan for a side dish that’s simple, healthy, and utterly irresistible.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head of broccoli (or 2 small), cut into florets
  • 1½ tablespoons butter (or olive oil for lighter option)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
  • ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated preferred)
  • Crushed red pepper flakes for heat
  • Lemon zest for brightness
  • Toasted breadcrumbs for crunch
  • Vegan Parmesan or nutritional yeast for dairy-free version

Instructions

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add broccoli florets and cook 3–4 minutes until bright green and just tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant (don’t burn).
  3. Add broccoli to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, and onion powder. Toss well to coat evenly in garlic butter.
  4. Turn off heat and sprinkle Parmesan over broccoli. Toss gently until melted and well combined.
  5. Drizzle with a little lemon juice if desired and serve immediately.
  6. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  7. Toss broccoli in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast 20–25 minutes until crisp-tender.
  8. Add sautéed garlic and Parmesan before serving.

Notes

  • Great for family dinners.
  • Perfect for holidays or meal prep.
  • Adjust garlic and Parmesan to taste.
