BROCCOLI, PARMESAN AND LEMON
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Trim about 1 inch off the ends of the broccoli stalks and cut the broccoli lengthwise into spears. Arrange the broccoli on a nonstick cookie sheet, drizzle with some olive oil and season with a little bit of salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Transfer to the oven and roast for 10 minutes.
- Remove the broccoli from the oven and sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top and bake until the cheese melt and forms a crisp shell over the broccoli, about 10 minutes. Lift the broccoli out onto a platter with a spatula and drizzle with fresh lemon.
ROASTED PARMESAN LEMON BROCCOLI
This is greatly adapted from Ina Garten's recipe. Really, one of the best ways I've ever eaten this veggie. Make sure the broccoli is COMPLETELY dry before putting it in the oven or it won't roast right. The best way it to just buy it pre washed and cut in a bag. Enjoy!

LEMON-PARMESAN BROCCOLI
Steps:
- 1. Arrange broccoli in a steamer. Steam covered, 4 minutes or until crisp-tender. Place broccoli in a large bowl. 2. Heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil and garlic; cook 2 minutes or until garlic is fragrant. Add oil mixture, rind, juice and salt to broccoli; toss to coat. Sprinkle broccoli mixture with cheese.
Tips:
- Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilting florets.
- Steam the broccoli: Steaming is the best way to cook broccoli to preserve its nutrients and vibrant color. You can steam broccoli in a steamer basket over boiling water or in the microwave.
- Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Overcooked broccoli will be mushy and lose its flavor.
- Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice adds a bright, tangy flavor to this dish. Avoid using bottled lemon juice, which can be bitter.
- Grate the Parmesan cheese: Grated Parmesan cheese melts more easily and evenly than shredded Parmesan cheese.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The broccoli will start to lose its鮮度 as it sits.
Conclusion:
Lemon Parmesan Broccoli is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant color and zesty flavor, this dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
