Simple, easy and tasty recipe for roasted broccoli. Broccoli is tossed with fresh garlic and roasted to perfection with brown edges on the florets then topped with lemon juice and parmesan.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Adjust oven rack to upper position and preheat oven to 450°F.
Cut the broccoli into florets. Add garlic and olive oil toss to coat evenly.
Season with salt and pepper.
Spread broccoli into a single layer on a sheet pan. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until the broccoli is crisp-tender and the tips of some of the florets are browned.
Remove the broccoli from the oven and immediately toss with the lemon zest, the juice from half a lemon, and the parmesan. Use as much parmesan as you prefer. Taste and adjust if needed with more olive oil, lemon juice, or salt.
Notes
Dry the broccoli well after washing. Whenever you roast vegetables, you want them to be completely dry before roasting. Use a spatula to flip/stir the broccoli for more even cooking. Cook the broccoli longer for more browned crispy texture. Use foil sprayed with oil to roast the broccoli and ensure easy clean-up.
