Ingredients

• 1 pound broccoli florets
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets. Ensure they're cut into bite-sized pieces, with any large stems removed.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Step 4

Spread the seasoned broccoli in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the pieces are not overcrowded to allow for even roasting.

Step 5

Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until the florets are tender and lightly browned around the edges.

Step 6

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and lemon zest over the hot broccoli. Add red pepper flakes, if using, for a subtle spicy kick.

Step 7

Gently toss the broccoli on the baking sheet to evenly distribute the toppings and return it to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes, just until the cheese melts and turns golden.

Step 8

Transfer the Parmesan roasted broccoli to a serving dish and serve warm. Enjoy it as a delicious side dish or a snack!
