Ingredients:

  • 1 lb fresh broccoli florets, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly until the florets are evenly coated.
  3. Spread the broccoli on the baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring space between florets to prevent crowding. Roast for 18–22 minutes until edges are mahogany-colored.
  4. Remove from the oven and immediately toss the hot broccoli with grated Parmesan, lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice until the cheese slightly melts.
