Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large heads broccoli, cut into uniform florets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- Place the broccoli florets in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
- Add the salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the bowl. Toss again until the seasonings stick to the broccoli.
- Spread the seasoned broccoli in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary to promote crisping.
- Roast for 15 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the broccoli.
- Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are browned and crispy and the broccoli is tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove from the oven. Immediately drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving hot.
Notes
- For the crispiest results, ensure your oven is fully preheated and do not skip the single-layer arrangement on the baking sheet.
- If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, substitute the garlic powder with 2 cloves of minced fresh garlic tossed with the oil before roasting.
