Ingredients

• 2 large broccoli crowns
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Rinse the broccoli crowns thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

Step 3

Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, including the tender stems if desired. Discard any tough, woody stems.

Step 4

Transfer the broccoli florets to a large mixing bowl.

Step 5

Drizzle the olive oil over the broccoli and toss until the florets are evenly coated.

Step 6

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the bowl along with the salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss once more to combine.

Step 7

Spread the seasoned broccoli in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the florets are not overcrowded to allow for proper roasting.

Step 8

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the broccoli for 20 minutes, stirring or flipping the florets halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Step 9

Once the edges of the broccoli are golden and crispy, remove the baking sheet from the oven.

Step 10

Drizzle the roasted broccoli with lemon juice and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

Step 11

Serve immediately as a side dish and enjoy!
