Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
3
Spread the broccoli evenly on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring the florets are not overcrowded.
4
Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are crispy and slightly charred.
5
Remove from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice. Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the top while still hot.
6
Serve immediately as a side dish or over grains for a light meal.
Chef's Tips
- Even Cooking: Cut the broccoli into similarly sized florets to ensure even roasting.
- Extra Crispy: For crispier broccoli, spread it out well on the baking sheet without overlapping.
- Cheese Options: Substitute parmesan with pecorino or nutritional yeast for a dairy-free version.
- Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
- Variations: Add sliced almonds or breadcrumbs for extra crunch.
