Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs fresh broccoli broken into florets
  • 2 cloves garlic minced or ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • ½ cup fresh grated Parmesan
  • 3 tbsp e.v olive oil or as needed
  • freshly cracked black pepper
  • chili flakes optional
  • sea salt as needed

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 400° F.
  • Mix the parmesan, garlic and lemon zest in small bowl and set aside.
  • Cut the broccoli into florets. Place on a sheet pan large enough to hold them in a single layer. Toss the garlic on the broccoli and drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Toss to coat evenly. Spread into a single layer. Roast for 15 to 25 minutes, until the broccoli is crisp-tender and the tips of some of the florets are browned.
  • Remove the broccoli from the oven and toss with the lemon zest parmesan mix. Put it back in the oven for another 5 minutes so the parmesan melts and begins to turn golden. Remove from the oven toss about 2-3 tbsps lemon juice, chili flakes or freshly cracked black pepper and serve. ** a little drizzle of really good olive oil is also delicious for a nice bite.
