For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes before roasting. If you prefer a softer broccoli, you can steam it for a few minutes before roasting. To ensure even cooking, make sure the broccoli florets are roughly the same size. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is highly recommended for the best flavor and melting.

StepPreheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil and kosher salt, ensuring each piece is lightly coated. (2 minutes)
03
StepSpread the broccoli florets in a single layer on a half-sheet pan, giving them enough space to roast properly. (1 minute)
04
StepRoast in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and slightly charred at the edges. (20-25 minutes)
05
StepRemove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the broccoli with grated Parmesan cheese and lemon zest, distributing evenly. (1 minute)
06
StepReturn the pan to the oven and roast for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning! (3-5 minutes)
