Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head broccoli
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash the broccoli head thoroughly and pat it dry. Cut it into bite-sized florets and discard the tough stem.
Place the broccoli florets onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the broccoli in the oven for 15-20 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the edges are lightly browned and crisp.
While the broccoli is roasting, prepare the lemon garlic butter sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and add them to the melted butter. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, ensuring the garlic doesn’t burn.
Add the lemon juice and lemon zest to the pan. Stir well, then remove from heat.
Toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until golden. Remove from heat and set aside.
When the broccoli is done roasting, transfer it to a large mixing bowl. Pour the lemon garlic butter sauce over the broccoli and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and toasted almonds over the broccoli. Toss lightly to distribute.
Transfer the Broccoli Ala Dallas to a serving dish and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
