Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Head Broccoli Florets cut
  • 1-2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 Tbsp Parmesan grated
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Pepper
  • squeeze Lemon juice optional

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Jellyroll Sheet Pan aka-Cookie sheet pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment or not.
  2. Toss broccoli with olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread in a single layer — space = crispiness.
  4. Roast 18–22 minutes until edges are golden and slightly crispy.
  5. Sprinkle Parmesan over the hot broccoli and finish with a tiny squeeze of lemon if you like brightness.

Notes

✨ Extra tip: For very crispy edges, let the broccoli get a few dark roasted spots — that’s flavor, not burning.
