Ingredients

  • 1 head of broccoli
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Roast the broccoli. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes, or until edges are crispy and slightly browned.
  4. Add the finishing touches. Garnish with freshly shaved parmesan and a squeeze of lemon. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Let it cool completely before storing it in an airtight container for 4 to 5 days. Just note that it will soften over time, and not be as crispy upon reheating.
  • Spread it out on a baking sheet to freeze individually before transferring it to a freezer-safe bag. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. 
  • I always recommend a block of parmigiano reggiano that you grate yourself compared to pre-grated cheese, for the most robust flavor.
  • Heavy-duty commercial sheet pans are the best for not warping in the oven as well.
  • To store in the fridge: Let it cool completely before storing it in an airtight container for 4 to 5 days. Just note that it will soften over time, and not be as crispy upon reheating.
  • To freeze for later: Spread it out on a baking sheet to freeze individually before transferring it to a freezer-safe bag. It can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. 
  • If using frozen broccoli, you’ll roast them directly from the freezer at 450°F (230°C) for 25 to 30 minutes. Try to remove any excess ice before roasting. And just know that frozen broccoli will never get as crisp as fresh broccoli.
