Roasted broccoli with parmesan and lemon

Roasted broccoli with Parmesan and lemon is a simple yet flavorful side dish that pairs well with a variety of main courses. The combination of tender roasted broccoli, refreshing lemon, and savory Parmesan creates a dish that is both healthy and delicious. This recipe is easy to prepare and perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.

Ingredients:

5 cups broccoli
360g
2 tbsp butter
27g
1 tbsp lemon juice
16g
1 tsp lemon zest
2g
1 dash salt
0.40g
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
10g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to preheat at 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Broccoli: Wash the broccoli thoroughly and cut it into bite-sized florets. Make sure they are similar in size for even roasting.
3. Season the Broccoli: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, and a dash of salt. Add in the broccoli florets and toss well to ensure the broccoli is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned broccoli onto a baking sheet in a single layer. This ensures even roasting and prevents steaming.
5. Roast the Broccoli: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast until the broccoli is tender and slightly browned around the edges, which should take about 20-25 minutes. Stir halfway through the cooking time to promote even roasting.
6. Add Parmesan Cheese: Remove the broccoli from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top. Toss gently to combine. The heat from the broccoli will melt the Parmesan slightly.
7. Serve: Transfer the roasted broccoli to a serving dish. For an extra burst of flavor, you can add a final squeeze of lemon juice over the top just before serving.

Tips:

- Make sure the broccoli is evenly coated with butter and seasoning for the best flavor.

- Roast the broccoli in a single layer to ensure it cooks evenly and gets a nice, crispy texture.

- Keep an eye on the broccoli while roasting to prevent burning; stir it halfway through cooking for even browning.

- If you prefer a bit more zing, you can add extra lemon juice or zest to taste.

- Feel free to experiment by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, black pepper, or red pepper flakes for additional flavor.

- For a dairy-free version, you can substitute the butter with olive oil and use nutritional yeast or a plant-based parmesan alternative.

Roasted broccoli with Parmesan and lemon is a quick and tasty way to enjoy this nutritious vegetable. The tangy lemon juice and zest brighten up the flavors, while the Parmesan adds a rich, savory touch. It’s a versatile side dish that complements many dishes and is sure to become a favorite. Remember to serve it hot and enjoy the combination of textures and flavors.
