Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). A hot oven is crucial for achieving that perfect roast on the broccoli.
- Wash the broccoli thoroughly and cut it into evenly-sized florets. This ensures that they cook uniformly.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the broccoli is well-coated.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the seasoned broccoli. Toss again gently to distribute the cheese evenly without breaking the florets.
- Spread the broccoli mixture out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan to allow for even roasting.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and the edges are crispy. You can stir the broccoli halfway through for even browning.
- Once roasted, remove the broccoli from the oven and serve it hot. Enjoy this flavorful side dish with your favorite main course or even on its own as a snack!
Notes
- For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes.
- Incorporate other vegetables such as carrots or Brussels sprouts.
- Drizzle with balsamic reduction for an elegant touch.
