Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450g) broccoli florets, cut into uniform pieces
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) extra-virgin olive oil
  • ½ tsp (3g) fine sea salt
  • ¼ tsp (1g) freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 tbsp (10g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves (6g) garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp (5ml) fresh lemon juice

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, slicing larger pieces lengthwise to create a flat edge for better browning.
  3. In a large bowl or directly on the baking sheet, toss the broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the florets in a single layer on the parchment paper, ensuring no two pieces are touching to prevent steaming.
  5. Roast in the center rack of the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until the edges are deep golden brown.
  6. Quickly sprinkle the minced garlic and grated parmesan cheese over the roasted broccoli.
  7. Return to the oven for 2–3 more minutes until the cheese is melted and golden.
  8. Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving.
