INGREDIENTS FOR THE BROCCOLI
– Frozen broccoli florets
– Olive oil
– Kosher salt
– Ground black pepper
– Grated parmesan cheese
– Lemon
Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C) with one rack in the center and one near the top. Place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
STEP 1: PREHEAT THE OVEN & PAN
STEP 2: SEASON THE BROCCOLI
In a large bowl, toss the frozen florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
STEP 3: ROAST THE BROCCOLI
Remove the hot sheet pan. Spread broccoli in a single layer. Roast on the middle rack for 15–18 minutes, until tender and browned at the edges.
STEP 4: BROIL WITH PARMESAN
Switch the oven to Broil. Sprinkle broccoli evenly with Parmesan. Move the sheet to the top rack and broil 1–2 minutes, just until the cheese melts.
STEP 5: FINISH WITH LEMON & SERVE
Squeeze half a lemon over the broccoli and toss gently. Cut the remaining half into wedges and serve on the side.
