Oven Roasted Broccoli with Cheese

This oven roasted broccoli with cheese recipe is another one of my favorites to make and eat. But I love fresh vegetables. So this is somewhat of a staple at our house, especially starting in the spring. And going all summer long.

There are many different varieties of this recipe out there. However, this is a pretty simple one. Though I use a lot of cheese. So, you might find that you’d prefer using less.
