Steps
Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C.
Cut the broccoli florets from the thick stalks, leaving an inch or two of stalk attached to the florets, discarding the rest of the stalks. Cut the larger pieces through the base of the head with a small knife, pulling the florets apart. You should have about 8 cups of florets.
Place the broccoli florets on a sheet pan large enough to hold them in a single layer. Toss the garlic on the broccoli and drizzle with 5 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until crisp-tender and the tips of some of the florets are browned.
Remove the broccoli from the oven and immediately toss with 1½ tablespoons olive oil, the lemon zest, lemon juice, and Parmesan. Serve hot.

Karen Carter on 2026-09-24 (5 stars): The name says it all! This is still our favorite broccoli recipe and it is been over 10 years.
Michelle Olson on 2026-09-07 (5 stars): Very good but next time I will reduce the salt. With the Parmesan cheese, 1.5 tsp was a bit too much for me. I finely chopped the garlic and added it in with only five minutes left to cook. Much better than steamed broccoli!
Alex Leaman on 2026-08-09 (5 stars): delicious beats boiled brockers!
Ethel Merman on 2026-06-11 (4 stars): Parmesan cheese is absolutely loaded with salt, so you certainly don't need to add any extra!
Especially if you are on a sodium reduced eating plan :)
Diana on 2026-05-20 (5 stars): Love the flavor!
Irene on 2026-01-18 (5 stars): I've made this several times with great success. Tonight I'm changing it a bit. I don't have enough brocolli or protein so, I'm roasting the stalks along with a couple of diced potatoes for 10 minutes before I add the florets. Fingers crossed.
Sara on 2026-01-03 (5 stars): My whole family loves this recipe and it's the only veggie my kids will ask for!
