Ingredients

  • 2 heads broccoli
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic — grated
  • 1/2 lemon
  • 1/4 cup parmesan — grated

Steps

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 450°F with a sheet pan inside — a hot pan means instant sizzle.

  2. 2

    Cut the 2 heads broccoli into medium florets and dry them thoroughly. Wet broccoli steams; dry broccoli chars.

  3. 3

    Toss with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Spread on the hot pan cut-side down in a single layer.

  4. 4

    Roast for 18 minutes without stirring, until the edges are deeply browned and crisp.

  5. 5

    Toss immediately with 2 cloves garlic, the zest of the 1/2 lemon, and 1/4 cup parmesan — the residual heat mellows the raw garlic.
