Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 units garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the broccoli evenly.
Spread the broccoli mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring there's enough space between the florets for even roasting.
Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the broccoli.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and crispy.
Remove the broccoli from the oven and drizzle with fresh lemon juice. If desired, sprinkle with red chili flakes for a touch of heat.
Serve hot as a side dish or snack, and enjoy!
