Equipment
Ingredients
- 20 ounces broccoli florets
- 1/4 cup olice oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
- 1 ounce sliced almonds
- 3/4 ounce shaved or shredded parmesan
- 2 tsp lemon juice or balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining with parchment paper.
- Whisk together olive oil, garlic, and red pepper. Toss oil mixture with broccoli to coat.
- Spread broccoli into an even layer onto prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 12 minutes.
- Remove from oven, and gently toss broccoli on the baking sheet. Top with sliced almonds.
- Bake for an additional 6-8 minutes, or until almonds are toasted and broccoli is tender.
- Remove from oven, sprinkle with lemon juice (or balsamic vinegar) and top with parmesan. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Store refrigerated in a sealed container for up to 3 days.
- To ensure even cooking, make sure to cut the broccoli into similarly sized pieces and roast in an even layer. Half large florets for better caramelization.
- Instead of parmesan, you can also use a similarly flavorful cheese such as asiago or pecorino.
