Ingredients

1. Four cups broccoli florets,
2. three tablespoons olive oil,
3. one tablespoon lemon juice,
4. one tablespoon chopped fresh parsley,
5. one tablespoon of finely grated Parmesan cheese,
6. half a teaspoon of Italian seasoning, or equal parts garlic powder,
7. dried oregano,
8. and dried basil, salt, and pepper to taste.
9. Optional garnish: lemon wedges.

DIRECTIONS

• Set the oven’s temperature to 450°F. Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
• Put the broccoli florets in a freezer bag the size of a gallon. Add the salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to taste along with the olive oil.
• To ensure equal coating, seal the bag and shake.
• Transfer the broccoli in a single layer onto the sheet pan.
• After 20 minutes of baking, stir halfway through.
• Take out of the oven the pan. Serve the broccoli with a drizzle of lemon juice, sprinkled with parmesan and parsley, and, if like, lemon wedges on top.

NOTES 1.

• Try blanching your broccoli for two to three minutes before roasting it if you want it to maintain its vibrant green color instead of taking on more of an olive tone. 2. Do you like your cuisine spicy? For a little heat, add some crushed pepper flakes! 3. I use parsley since I always have it on hand, but basil, thyme, or chives would also work well.
