Ingredients
- 500 grams Broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Lemon
- 2 large Garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Rinse the broccoli florets under cold water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel to remove excess moisture.
Step 3
Place the broccoli florets in a large bowl and add the olive oil, tossing until the florets are evenly coated.
Step 4
Zest the lemon and set the zest aside. Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the broccoli, tossing again to distribute the lemon juice evenly.
Step 5
Finely mince the garlic cloves and add them to the bowl with the broccoli. Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the broccoli and toss to combine all the ingredients.
Step 6
Spread the seasoned broccoli florets evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer for even roasting.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and beginning to brown on the edges.
Step 8
Remove the broccoli from the oven and immediately sprinkle the reserved lemon zest and Parmesan cheese over the hot broccoli for added flavor.
Step 9
Serve the baked broccoli warm as a side dish or as part of a healthy meal. Enjoy!
