Equipment
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 parchment paper optional
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 measuring spoons
- 1 cutting board
- 1 tongs or spatula
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds fresh broccoli, cut into florets
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice optional for extra zing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the broccoli is well coated.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spread the broccoli mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are crisp and the florets are tender, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- Once roasted, remove the broccoli from the oven and immediately sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top. Return to the oven and roast for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden.
- For an extra zing, drizzle lemon juice over the hot broccoli before serving.
Notes
For a spicy kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the broccoli before roasting.
