- 1 pound fresh broccoli, cut into florets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice optional for added flavor
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper if desired for easier cleanup.
In a mixing bowl, combine the broccoli florets with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss until the broccoli is well-coated.
Spread the broccoli mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, remove from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the broccoli.
Return to the oven and continue roasting for an additional 5 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and the cheese is golden brown.
If desired, drizzle the lemon juice over the broccoli before serving for an extra zing.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Garlic Parmesan Roasted Broccoli.
For extra crunch, you can toss in some panko bread crumbs with the Parmesan cheese before roasting.
Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your taste; adding more garlic or cheese can enhance the flavor.
This dish pairs well with grilled chicken, fish, or as part of a vegetarian meal.
