Parmesan-Roasted Broccoli

January 24, 2013 By Lokness 8 Comments

After trying out this dish, you will fall in love with broccoli (even if you are a kid). The roasted broccoli is sweet and tender. Some freshness from the lemon juice and amazing fragrant from the zest. And who doesn’t like cheese? This is very simple and healthy. Just toss in the oven and wait for it. Perfect to go with any steak and pasta dishes.

Parmesan-Roasted Broccoli (Adapted from Ina Garten via Foodnetwork.com)

2 – 3 servings

Ingredients:

–   2 pounds broccoli

–   2 garlic cloves (thinly sliced)

–   2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

–   1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

–   2 teaspoons lemon juice

–   ½ teaspoon kosher salt

–   ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

–   olive oil

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425˚F.
  2. Cut the broccoli florets from the thick stalks, leaving an inch or two of stalk attached to the florets. Discard the rest of the stalks. Cut the larger pieces of florets through the base of the head with a small knife and pull the florets apart.
  3. Place the broccoli florets on a baking sheet in a single layer. Toss with the garlic slices. Drizzle 2½ tablespoons olive oil over and toss again. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Cook in the oven for 20 – 25 minutes, until the tips of some florets are browned.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest, juice and olive oil. Set aside.
  5. Remove the broccoli from the oven. Drizzle the lemon juice mixture over the broccoli and sprinkle the cheese evenly over the florets. Transfer to a plate and serve immediately.

Tips:

  1. I like my broccoli to be on the softer side, so 25-minute is perfect. But if you like your broccoli to be crisp-tender, 20-minute is about right.

    I sauteed some broccoli for dinner the other night, and my husband seemed a little “ehhh” on it. This looks much more childlike-palate friendly 😉

      Yes, Sydney. Definitely have more flavors and taste less like vegetable. Enjoy!

    Oh yeah, this is definitely the best way to prepare broccoli. I think roasting really adds lots of flavors to the vegetables. 🙂 Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend.

    YUM! I have never been a huge fan of cooked vegetables, but my fiance craves veggies with every meal – so I made these tonight to go with dinner & even I went back for seconds!

      Thank you. I am so thrilled to hear that you and your fiance both enjoyed the broccoli. For my husband and I, we are the other way around. I always want to eat veggies, and he always want meat. But if I can make the veggies tastier, I am sure he will be much happier to eat them. 🙂

Afternoon tea was on my must-do list for London. W Afternoon tea was on my must-do list for London. We made it to @diamondjubileeteasalon. It was beyond what we imagined. Live piano performance, great service, lots of tea choices & incredibly beautiful sweets, scones & sandwiches. Our favorites were rose eclair, fruit scone, smoked trout sandwich, & ham sandwich. That doesn’t look like a lot of food, but it was! We were crazy stuffed, & I couldn’t even finish my fruit scone. If you’re still hungry, don’t worry, because you can get refills for scones & sandwiches. It was pricey, but worth to do it at least once!

Our 1st pub & Sunday roast experience! Our friends Our 1st pub & Sunday roast experience! Our friends Michelle & James took us to their favorite local pub. Nice & cozy. I think I understand a bit more why British loves pubs. It’s a really comfortable hang out place. The food was incredible! We both got the roast beef sirloin. It came w/ a giant Yorkshire pudding & lots of flavored roasted veggies. Sticky toffee pudding was perfect! There is no better way to start our Great Britain trip.

Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Strawberry-Rose Cream. Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Strawberry-Rose Cream. I was inspired by our recent Maine trip to create these. Moist chocolatey cake rounds filled w/ a slightly tart strawberry buttercream & a hint of rose. They’re fun little treat for Valentine’s Day. Btw, these are freezer friendly too. Keep a few at room temp, & freeze the rest. There’ll be plenty of desserts in the coming month.😉

The food in the picture is sweet glutinous rice dumplings w/ black sesame 落湯糍(糯米糍). The word “糍” sounds similar to “錢”, so the dumplings represent money. Eating them will bring you lots of wealth! 

The dumplings are chewy & gooey like mochi. Coated in black sesame seeds. Right before eating, dip them in sugar. Perfect sweet treat for the new year!

We just can’t get enough of @somisomiicecream! T We just can’t get enough of @somisomiicecream! Their soft serve is creamy, yet not too sweet. Lots of choices too, like ube, matcha, black sesame etc. The taiyaki is crispy on the outside & filled w/ goodness, like Nutella, red bean & custard. My only wish is that they open a store in the San Gabriel Valley, so we don’t have to travel far every time!😆
