The weather has been amazing. January with only a day or two of light snow, quite unlike last year. I don't know if I haven't been cooking as much, or cooking and not posting. Probably the latter.
Heather told me about this broccoli she roasted in the oven. I made it and really enjoyed it, but I'm not sure if this was the exact recipe. There are several of them out there. We had it last night, and I was reminded of how much I loved it.
Parmesan-Roasted Broccoli
1 head of fresh broccoli, cut into florettes
2 cloves garlic peeled and thinly sliced
olive oill
3/4 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp grated lemon zest
1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 425*. Place broccoli on a sheet pan in a single layer. Toss with garlic and olive oil. sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast for 20-25 min. It will be crisp-tender and the tips are starting to brown.
Remove from the oven and toss with another tablespoon of olive oil, lemon zest and juice, and Parmesan. Serve right now!
