Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

Step 2

Prepare the broccoli by cutting it into bite-sized florets, keeping the stem pieces slightly smaller to ensure even cooking.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).

Step 4

Toss the broccoli florets in the oil mixture until they are evenly coated.

Step 5

Spread the broccoli out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 6

Roast in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.

Step 7

While the broccoli is roasting, finely grate the Parmesan cheese and set aside.

Step 8

After 10 minutes, remove the broccoli from the oven and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.

Step 9

Return the broccoli to the oven and roast for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the edges of the broccoli are slightly crispy.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with lemon zest for a fresh, zingy finish.

Step 11

Serve hot as a delicious side dish or a healthy snack.
