6 cups broccoli florets

4 garlic cloves, peeled & minced

2 T extra virgin olive oil

1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 teaspoons lemon zest

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Place the broccoli florets on a large sheet pan so that they are in a single layer. Toss the garlic on the broccoli and drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, until lightly browned on the tips and crisp-tender.

Remove from oven and immediately toss with lemon zest, lemon juice and Parmesan. Serve immediately.
