Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.

Roasting

  • Spread the broccoli on a baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Roast for 15-20 minutes until tender and slightly browned.
  • Remove from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice.

Serving

  • Serve warm, topped with Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding red pepper flakes or your favorite herbs such as thyme or rosemary. Make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet; this helps the broccoli roast evenly and get crispy. Stir the broccoli halfway through roasting for an even brown color.
