Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 units garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons red chili flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the broccoli evenly.
Step 3
Spread the broccoli mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring there's enough space between the florets for even roasting.
Step 4
Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Step 5
After 15 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the broccoli.
Step 6
Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and crispy.
Step 7
Remove the broccoli from the oven and drizzle with fresh lemon juice. If desired, sprinkle with red chili flakes for a touch of heat.
Step 8
Serve hot as a side dish or snack, and enjoy!
