Description
This Parmesan Garlic Roasted Broccoli is crispy on the edges, tender in the middle, loaded with garlicky flavor, and finished with salty Parmesan and a bright squeeze of lemon. It’s simple, fast, and somehow always disappears first at dinner.
Ingredients
-
1 head broccoli, washed and cut into bite-sized pieces
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
-
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
-
1/2 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
-
1/4 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
-
Prep the broccoli. Place the broccoli florets on the baking sheet. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, then sprinkle with minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the broccoli is well coated and spread it out into an even layer.
-
Roast. Roast in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the broccoli is tender and nicely browned with crispy edges.
-
Finish with flavor. Remove the broccoli from the oven and immediately drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the lemon juice. Toss gently.
-
Add the Parmesan. Sprinkle the shaved Parmesan over the hot broccoli and serve right away.
