Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place the broccoli florets on a large baking sheet.
  3. Drizzle the broccoli with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss everything together until the broccoli is evenly coated.
  4. Spread the broccoli in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes. You want the edges to start turning brown and crisp.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot broccoli.
  7. Return the pan to the oven for 2 to 3 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
  8. Remove from the oven. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with lemon zest before serving.

Notes

  • Cut the broccoli into uniform, bite-sized florets for even roasting.
  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; use two sheets if necessary for crispier results.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes before roasting for a little heat.
