Incredible Roasted Broccoli

There's a fairly similar recipe on here for roasted broccoli, but there's no temperature set, and that's KEY! Also, I like the broccoli to stand on its own--no need for pignoli, aka pine nuts! I, myself, have always loved broccoli, but this method of cooking is BY FAR the best.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 4
• Yields: 4 side servings

Ingredients

• 2  stalks broccoli
• 4  garlic cloves, sliced lengthwise
•  olive oil (to coat)
•  sea salt (to taste)
•  fresh ground pepper (to taste)
• 1  lemon, juice of
•  freshly grated parmesan cheese (to taste)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450º.
2. Cut stalks into florets. I find that small florets pick up a very crispy, delicious flavor! Throw in sliced garlic.
3. Toss with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
4. Roast in the oven for twenty minutes. Check to see if crisp-tender, as well as crisp enough for you. (I roast at least 27 minutes!).
5. When satisfactorily roasted, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the broccoli, then top with the freshly grated parmesan cheese.
