Name: Roasted Broccoli With Parmesan

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 pounds broccoli (about 2 medium crowns), cut into florets of even size (clean but dry)
• 3 to 4 tablespoons of olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)
• Kosher salt
• 2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced
• Freshly ground black pepper (1/2 to 1 teaspoon)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Instructions:

• Pre-heat the oven to 475ºF
• In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets and minced garlic with olive oil and lemon juice until lightly coated.
• Sprinkle salt over the broccoli and toss to coat.
• Arrange the broccoli florets in a single layer on a baking sheet that has been rubbed with some olive oil or lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
• Roast for 16-20 minutes until cooked through (check by poking with a fork, should be fork tender) and lightly browned.
• Put the roasted broccoli back in the bowl and toss with lots of freshly ground black pepper and the grated parmesan cheese.

Comments: 3/10/2021 - Not bad. I used an earlier recipe inspired by https://www.errenskitchen.com/seriously-best-broccoli-life/ The stems of the florets were tough and I used too much lemon juice.
6/2/2025 - Replaced the original recipe with one from the site given below.
6/3/2025 - I followed the recipe, except omitting the salt. It was OK, but not great.

Note: This recipe is almost identical to Garlic-roasted Broccoli with Parmesan Cheese.
11/1/2025 - I grilled the broccoli on the Weber,
10/4/2026 - I substituted lime juice for the lemon juice, a teaspoon of garlic powder for the minced, and Romano cheese for parmesan.
