Parmesan-Roasted Broccoli
Description
This recipe calls for broccoli cut into evenly sized florets, coated in olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and kosher salt. The broccoli is spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and roasted at 425°F for 16 to 20 minutes, which softens the stems while creating lightly browned, crisp edges.
The roasted broccoli is then tossed with freshly ground black pepper and a generous amount of grated Parmesan cheese. The cheese melts slightly from the residual heat, complementing the garlic and lemon for a balanced savory flavor.
Served immediately, this side dish offers tender-crisp texture with a bright, garlicky, and cheesy profile that pairs well with a variety of main courses. The roasting enhances natural sweetness and provides appealing contrast in texture.
