Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets to ensure they roast properly without steaming.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli with olive oil, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the florets are evenly coated.
Step 4
Spread the broccoli in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd the pieces for even roasting.
Step 5
Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are crispy and lightly charred.
Step 6
As soon as the broccoli is out of the oven, drizzle lemon juice over the top for a tangy brightness.
Step 7
If desired, sprinkle freshly grated parmesan cheese over the broccoli while it’s still hot so it melts slightly.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a side dish or enjoy on its own.
