Ingredients
  

1 pound fresh broccoli florets

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Zest of 1 lemon

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Broccoli: Rinse the broccoli florets under cold water and pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Ensure they are well dried to achieve maximum crispiness.

      Mix the Dressing: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes (if using), lemon zest, and lemon juice. Whisk until well blended.

        Coat the Broccoli: Add the broccoli florets to the bowl and toss until they are fully coated with the garlic-lemon-oil mixture. Make sure every floret is well covered.

          Spread on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated broccoli evenly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are in a single layer for even roasting.

            Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the broccoli.

              Finish Roasting: Return to the oven and roast for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and the broccoli is crispy and slightly charred on the edges.

                Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Garlic Parmesan Roasted Broccoli as a delightful side dish!
