Roasted Broccoli (Garlic & Parmesan)
Roasted Broccoli with garlic and Parmesan combines fresh broccoli florets tossed in olive oil and minced garlic, roasted until the edges are crispy and browned. Finished with fresh lemon juice and grated Parmesan, this preparation elevates simple broccoli with bright acidity and savory cheese.
Ingredients
- 1 broccoli head
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- 1 lemon juiced
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Slice the broccoli. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Remove the individual florets from the head of broccoli and cut them into even bite-sized pieces.
- Season the broccoli. On a baking sheet, toss the broccoli florets in olive oil and minced garlic and season with salt and pepper. Spread them out into an even layer on the baking sheet.
- Roast the broccoli. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until edges are crispy and slightly browned.
- Add the finishing touches. Garnish with freshly shaved parmesan and a squeeze of lemon. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Cool roasted broccoli completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days.
- Reheating will soften the broccoli and reduce crispness.
- To freeze, spread broccoli out on a baking sheet and freeze individually before transferring to a freezer-safe bag; store for up to 3 months.
- If using frozen broccoli, roast directly from frozen at 450°F for 25 to 30 minutes after removing excess ice.
- Use freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano for best flavor rather than pre-grated cheese.
- Heavy-duty baking sheets resist warping and improve roasting quality.
