Ingredients

  • 2 large heads broccoli, cut into florets with some stem attached
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • Kosher salt
  • Red pepper flakes
  • Lemon juice (half a lemon)
  • Parmesan (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
  2. Toss florets with olive oil, garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes on a sheet pan.
  3. Spread in a single layer, flat side down.
  4. Roast 18–22 minutes until tips are charred and stems are tender.
  5. Squeeze lemon over immediately. Shave parmesan on top if using.

Notes

  • The charred tips are the point. Don’t pull it early because some pieces look dark.
  • Cut florets so they have a flat side to maximize contact with the hot pan.
