Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Broccoli crowns
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 0.25 cups Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 whole Lemon, zested and juiced
• 0.125 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.

Step 2

Cut the broccoli crowns into bite-sized florets and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Drizzle the olive oil over the broccoli, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and minced garlic. Toss everything together to coat the broccoli evenly.

Step 4

Spread the broccoli florets in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded for even roasting.

Step 5

Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the edges are golden and slightly crispy, tossing the broccoli halfway through cooking.

Step 6

While the broccoli roasts, zest and juice the lemon, keeping them separate for later use.

Step 7

Once the broccoli is roasted, transfer it back to the mixing bowl. Toss it immediately with the Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, and lemon juice. If you like a touch of heat, sprinkle on the crushed red pepper flakes.

Step 8

Serve the roasted broccoli warm as a side dish or enjoy it on its own as a light, flavorful snack.
