In a greased sheet pan, toss broccoli, olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes together, until evenly coated. Spread into a single layer.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until crisp, tender and lightly browned. Remove baking pan from oven and place on a wire rack (do not turn off oven).
Using a spoon, move broccoli florets closer together (so that the cheese stays on the broccoli), sprinkle both cheeses evenly on top.
Return pan back into the oven and bake until cheese melts ( 2 to 3 minutes). Serve broccoli immediately.
Notes
Even size – Cut florets the same size so that it cooks evenly. Uneven size will result in the smaller ones getting overcooked before the bigger one is done.Don’t overcrowd – Broccoli needs some breathing room to help it get caramelized. Spread even and not overcrowd.Grease baking sheet – Make sure to grease your baking sheet liberally with non-stick cooking spray so that the melted cheese won't stick to the baking sheet. You can line your sheet with parchment paper instead.
