This roasted broccoli with Asiago cheese is a simple yet sophisticated vegetarian side dish that elevates a staple green vegetable. By roasting the broccoli at a high temperature, the florets develop a wonderful charred flavour and a satisfyingly crisp texture. The addition of sharp, nutty Asiago cheese provides a rich finishing touch, melting elegantly over the hot spears to create a savoury crust that complements the natural sweetness of the roasted vegetable.

Perfect for a midweek roast or as an accompaniment to a Mediterranean-inspired dinner, this dish is both nutritious and full of depth.

Serve it immediately while the cheese is beautifully supple and the broccoli is at its most vibrant.
