Ingredients
  

  • 1 large head of broccoli cut into florets
  • 2-3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic sliced thin (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes optional
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese

Equipment

  • Large Rimmed Baking Sheet
  • Knife and Cutting Board

Method
 

  1. Preheat: First, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prep: Wash broccoli and pat dry. Cut into even-sized florets.
  3. Season: Place broccoli on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil. Add the sliced garlic, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss well to coat.
  4. Arrange: Spread the broccoli out so the pieces aren't crowded.
  5. Roast: Bake for 15-20 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the edges are crispy and brown.
  6. Finish: Remove from oven. Immediately drizzle with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Toss again and serve hot.
