Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 cups Asiago cheese, finely grated
- 1 teaspoons lemon zest (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the broccoli florets in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the broccoli and toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) over the broccoli and toss again to combine.
Spread the seasoned broccoli in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there is space between the florets for even roasting.
Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until tender and starting to brown around the edges.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the grated Asiago cheese evenly over the broccoli.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden.
Remove the broccoli from the oven and let it cool slightly before transferring it to a serving dish.
Optional: Garnish with lemon zest for a bright, citrusy finish. Serve warm and enjoy!
