The Ultimate Parmesan Roasted Broccoli

By charlotteh371

Ingredients

• 2 big heads of broccoli or 3 smaller ones
• 5 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
• 2 to 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/4 cup roasted pecans, chopped
• 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

1.Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
2.Cut the broccoli florets from the thick stalks and cut the larger pieces through the base of the head with a small knife, pulling the florets apart. I cut mine in really small florets because I wanted bite size florets. Place the broccoli florets on a sheet pan large enough to hold them in a single layer. Toss the garlic on the broccoli and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until crisp-tender and the tips of some of the florets are browned.
3.Remove the broccoli from the oven and immediately toss with lemon juice, pecans and Parmesan cheese. Serve hot.
