Garlicky Roasted Broccoli
Roasted broccoli with garlic, parmesan, and lemon—easy to make, hard to stop eating!
Ingredients
- 2 pounds broccoli crowns be sure they are dry
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon sugar
- 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano
- 1 each lemon wedges optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F (235°C) and set an oven rack in the middle position. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Cut the broccoli into 2-inch florets, leaving 1 to 2 inches of stems attached. Discard the remaining thick stalks. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and sugar and mix well. Add the broccoli and toss to coat evenly. Transfer the broccoli to the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 10 minutes, until the broccoli is crisp-tender and lightly browned in spots. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the grated Parmigiano Reggiano over the broccoli. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Transfer to a serving dish and gently squeeze 1 to 2 teaspoons of lemon over top. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and serve.
