Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Cut the broccoli florets from the thick stalks, leaving an inch or two of stalk attached to the florets, discarding the rest of the stalks. Cut the larger pieces through the base of the head with a small knife, pulling the florets apart. You should have about 8 cups of florets. Place the broccoli florets on a sheet pan large enough to hold them in a single layer. Toss the garlic on the broccoli and drizzle with 5 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until crisp-tender and the tips of some of the florets are browned.
- Remove the broccoli from the oven and immediately toss with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, the lemon zest, lemon juice, pine nuts, Parmesan, and basil. Serve hot.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Trim 1 inch from stems of broccoli. Using a vegetable peeler, peel outer layer of stems; cut diagonally into 1/2-inch slices. Separate florets into bite-size pieces.
- In a large bowl, toss florets and stems with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet; roast, turning broccoli halfway through, until tender, about 15 minutes.
Tips:
- Choosing the right broccoli: Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilted florets.
- Roasting the broccoli: To achieve perfectly roasted broccoli, toss the florets in olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them at a high temperature (425°F or 220°C) for about 20 minutes, or until they are tender and slightly charred.
- Using Manchego cheese: Manchego is a hard, nutty cheese made from sheep's milk. It is commonly used in Spanish cuisine and pairs well with roasted vegetables. For this recipe, grate the Manchego cheese before using it.
- Adding almonds: Sliced almonds add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor to the roasted broccoli. Toast the almonds in a pan or in the oven before adding them to the dish.
- Serving the roasted broccoli: Roasted broccoli with grated Manchego cheese can be served as a side dish or as a main course. It can be enjoyed on its own or with a dipping sauce, such as a lemon-tahini sauce.
Conclusion:
Roasted broccoli with grated Manchego cheese is a simple yet flavorful dish that is perfect for any occasion. The roasted broccoli is tender and slightly charred, while the Manchego cheese adds a nutty and salty flavor. The almonds add a crunchy texture and nutty flavor, and the lemon-tahini sauce adds a bright and tangy flavor. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
