Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Broccoli crowns
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.25 cups Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 whole Lemon, zested and juiced
- 0.125 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
Cut the broccoli crowns into bite-sized florets and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the broccoli, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and minced garlic. Toss everything together to coat the broccoli evenly.
Spread the broccoli florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded for even roasting.
Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and slightly crispy, tossing the broccoli halfway through cooking.
While the broccoli roasts, zest and juice the lemon, keeping them separate for later use.
Once the broccoli is roasted, transfer it back to the mixing bowl. Toss it immediately with the Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, and lemon juice. If you like a touch of heat, sprinkle on the crushed red pepper flakes.
Serve the roasted broccoli warm as a side dish or enjoy it on its own as a light, flavorful snack.
