Oven Roasted Broccoli with Parmesan and Lemon
Description
This recipe for Oven Roasted Broccoli with Parmesan and Lemon starts with fresh broccoli cut into florets and sliced stems. The broccoli is coated evenly with olive oil, minced garlic, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Roasting the broccoli in a 425°F oven for 14 to 18 minutes develops a light browning on the edges and bottoms, giving a slight roasted flavor and maintaining a tender-crisp texture.
After roasting, the broccoli is tossed with additional olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. This addition brightens the dish with acidity and adds a rich, savory cheesiness that complements the roasted vegetable. The minced garlic infused in the oil boosts the aroma and depth of flavor.
The result is a side dish where the broccoli has a balance of soft tenderness and crisp bite with a savory, tangy finish. It can be served right away to retain its texture and fresh flavors, making it suitable for pairing with a variety of main courses or as part of a vegetable platter.
