Ingredients

Broccoli

  • 24 ounces broccoli florets

Other Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat it with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the broccoli: Arrange the broccoli florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, add minced garlic, and season generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss gently to coat all pieces evenly.
  3. Roast the broccoli: Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and roast for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and slightly caramelized around the edges.
  4. Finish and serve: Remove the broccoli from the oven and immediately sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and drizzle with lemon juice. Serve hot for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh broccoli florets for the best taste and texture.
  • You can adjust garlic quantity according to your preference.
  • If you prefer less sharpness, reduce or omit the lemon juice.
  • For a nuttier flavor, try toasting the Parmesan slightly before sprinkling.
  • This dish pairs well with grilled chicken or fish as a healthy side.
