My family and I are veggie lovers and I am always looking for a new way to cook them. My go to route is roasting pretty much any vegetable and when I came across a version of this recipe on Pinterest called “Magic Broccoli” I was intrigued! Apparently what makes it magic is how a little roasting and a drizzle of lemon juice can transform broccoli into this incredible crunchy, garlicky, cheesy dish that I could seriously eat a whole bowl of {and to be honest I have}!
I promise you this is the BEST EVER Lemon Parmesan Roasted Broccoli you will ever have and even better it’s good for you {and I eat them like potato chips}!
Ingredients:
Serves 2-4
- 1 large head of broccoli
- 2 garlic cloves, pressed
- 2 tbsp olive oil, add more if needed
- sea salt/ black pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- zest from 1/4 lemon
- 1-2 tbsp Parmesan cheese, grated
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cut broccoli into florets, removing the stems and spread onto a baking tray.
- Drizzle with about a tbsp of olive oil and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and pressed garlic. Toss to combine, then spread out in a single layer.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until slightly browned.
- Remove from oven and immediately drizzle with lemon juice and remaining tbsp of olive oil. Toss to coat.
- Sprinkle with lemon zest and Parmesan cheese.
- Serve immediately.
