Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb fresh broccoli florets
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- Juice of 1/2 lemon (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Spread the broccoli in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the broccoli is tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the hot broccoli. Toss gently to coat.
- Optional: Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the roasted broccoli before serving for added brightness.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, ensure the broccoli is completely dry before tossing with oil.
- Add a sprinkle of panko breadcrumbs before roasting for a crunchier texture.
- This recipe works great with other veggies like cauliflower or Brussels sprouts.
