I've been roasting broccoli like this since I saw a chef do it on TV a couple of years ago. I get the weirdest looks from people when I mention roasting broccoli, but it's really good.
I just put the broccoli on a baking sheet and drizzle it with the oil. The rule I learned to time it is to wait until the edges start turning brown which gives it a nice crispness and a somewhat nutty flavor. Instead of the cheese, I usually just drizzle it with melted butter with a little garlic in it.
You can do the same thing with cauliflower and asparagus, or cut potatoes or sweet potatoes into wedges to make oven baked fries.
Speaking of broccoli, there was something in the news a few months ago about not cooking broccoli in boiling water. It seems that the molecules in the water bind with the nutrients in broccoli and leech them right out of the vegetable. They recommended steaming broccoli but didn't rule out stir frying or roasting it.
