Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 medium-sized garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 30 grams parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets with olive oil. Mix to ensure each floret is evenly coated.
Finely mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl along with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix everything together until the broccoli is well-seasoned.
Spread the seasoned broccoli in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
After 20 minutes, sprinkle grated parmesan cheese evenly over the broccoli and return it to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the broccoli is crispy and golden brown at the edges.
Remove from the oven and transfer the roasted broccoli to a serving dish. Serve immediately as a delicious and healthy side dish.
