Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 lbs. broccoli, cut into small florets
  • 3 Tbls. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, sliced thin
  • ½ t. kosher salt
  • ¼ t. course black pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

In a large bowl, toss broccoli, oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Spread evenly on the pan, drizzling any excess oil on top. Roast in oven for 20-25 minutes until the florets are crispy and caramelized, but still a little tender (check broccoli after 15 minutes in oven).

When done, turn oven off; squeeze lemon over the broccoli, sprinkle with cheese and almonds. Let stand in oven for 1 minute. Remove to serving bowl.
