Roasted Fresh Broccoli with garlic, lemon, and Parmesan Cheese

Ingredients:

• 4 pounds (1.8kg) broccoli
• 4 garlic cloves peeled and thinly sliced
• Good olive oil or for Keto – coconut oil
• 1½ teaspoons salt
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• ⅓ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. (218 degrees celsius’ )
2. 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.
3. 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 it with the salt and pepper.
4. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until crisp-tender and the tips of some of the florets are browned.
5. Remove the broccoli from the oven and immediately toss with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, the lemon zest, lemon juice, and Parmesan.  Serve hot.
