Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 units garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets, then place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the broccoli and toss well to coat evenly.
Add the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the bowl and toss again to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Spread the broccoli in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the florets are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the broccoli from the oven and squeeze the lemon juice over the top while they're still hot.
Sprinkle the roasted broccoli with grated Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
