Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound broccoli florets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets. Ensure they're cut into bite-sized pieces, with any large stems removed.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned broccoli in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the pieces are not overcrowded to allow for even roasting.
Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until the florets are tender and lightly browned around the edges.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and lemon zest over the hot broccoli. Add red pepper flakes, if using, for a subtle spicy kick.
Gently toss the broccoli on the baking sheet to evenly distribute the toppings and return it to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes, just until the cheese melts and turns golden.
Transfer the Parmesan roasted broccoli to a serving dish and serve warm. Enjoy it as a delicious side dish or a snack!
