Instructions:
- Steaming: Place the broccoli florets in a steaming basket over boiling water. Cover and steam for about 5-7 minutes until the broccoli is tender yet still bright green.
- Boiling: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook for 3-4 minutes until they turn a vibrant green and are tender-crisp. Drain and pat dry.
- Roasting: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the broccoli florets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and spread them out on a baking sheet. Roast for about 20-25 minutes, until they are tender and slightly caramelized, shaking the pan halfway through.
Tips:
- Make sure to use fresh broccoli for the best flavor and texture.
- Grate the Parmesan cheese finely for an even coating on the broccoli.
- Adjust the amount of olive oil to taste; a little more can make the broccoli even more tender and flavorful.
- If you prefer a bit of a kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mix.
- For extra crispiness, you can broil the broccoli for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
