This dish transforms ordinary broccoli into a gourmet experience that’s crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and topped with the savory goodness of Parmesan cheese.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 pound fresh broccoli florets
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
Fresh lemon zest (optional)
Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash the florets thoroughly and pat them dry with a clean towel.
In a large bowl, combine the broccoli florets with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss well until evenly coated.
Spread the broccoli evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot florets.
Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with lemon zest and red pepper flakes, if desired.
