- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions

Place the broccoli florets on a large baking sheet in a single layer.
Drizzle the olive oil over the broccoli.
Mince the garlic cloves and sprinkle them over the broccoli.
Season the broccoli with salt and black pepper.
Toss the broccoli on the baking sheet to ensure even coating with the oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Roast the broccoli in the oven for 18-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until the edges are crisp and the stems are tender.
