Ingredients
- 2 heads broccoli
- 5 cloves garlic peeled and thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 1½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- ¼ cup pecans toasted and chopped
- ⅓ cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
Instructions
- Prep the oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Prep the broccoli: 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.
- Bake: Transfer the sheet pan to the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until crisp-tender and the tips of some of the florets are browned. Stir the broccoli once partway through cooking.
- Finish the dish: Remove the broccoli from the oven and immediately toss with lemon juice, pecans and Parmesan cheese. Serve hot.
Notes
- This recipe is so easy to make and store! Just refrigerate in an airtight container and it’ll stay fresh for up to a week.
- Try out different blends of spices, herbs and nuts for a variety of flavor combinations!
- Make sure to flip your broccoli (you only have to do this once) to ensure even roasting.
