The Best Broccoli You've Ever Tasted

I haven't posted a recipe for awhile. I have come across a few good ones but one stands out as being AMAZING! One of the reviews for the recipe was that "it is better than biting into a steak!" Now for a man to be quoted on that is quite a feat for a chef. So with out further adieu...

Preheat the oven to 425.

Line cookie sheet with foil and spray with non stick cooking spray.

Take 4 to 5 pounds of broccoli (two large bunches), cut into florets (but relatively big ones.) Dry them thoroughly.

Toss with broccoli with olive oil, kosher salt and pepper. Add 4 garlic cloves that are peeled and sliced and toss them in too. Put on prepared cookie sheet.

Roast in the oven 20 - 25 minutes, until crisp-tender and the tips of some of the florets are browned.

When its done zest a lemon over the broccoli, squeeze the lemon juice over the broccoli, add grated Parmesan cheese. This is quite an amazing combination of flavours.

There is also the option of adding some basil and toasted pine nuts. I did not do that.

Enjoy.
