Lemon Roasted Broccoli with Parmesan Crisps

Zesty lemon and crunchy Parmesan crisps elevate simple roasted broccoli into a side dish with vibrant flavors.

Ingredients

• 1 lb broccoli, cut into florets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well coated.
3. Spread the broccoli onto a baking sheet in a single layer.
4. Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender and slightly charred.
5. While the broccoli is roasting, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
6. Place small mounds (about a tablespoon each) of grated Parmesan cheese onto the skillet, lightly pressing them down to form rounds.
7. Cook the Parmesan rounds for about 1-2 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remove from skillet and cool on a wire rack.
8. Serve the roasted broccoli with freshly made Parmesan crisps on top for added crunch.
