Total Time: 35 min
Servings: 4
3 lbs fresh broccoli
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 medium cloves garlic, pressed (or finely minced)
Salt
Pepper
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
1/4 cup coarsely grated pecorino cheese
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Cut the broccoli into medium-sized florets, leaving an inch or two of stalk attached to the florets. (You can either peel the remaining stalks and use them for slaw, or discard.)
Place the florets on a large baking sheet and toss with the salt, pepper, garlic, and two tablespoons of olive oil. Spread out evenly. Roast broccoli for 25-35 minutes (tossing lightly after 15 minutes) or until broccoli is fork-tender and lightly caramelized.
Remove broccoli from oven and immediately sprinkle with lemon juice and remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Toss well with the toasted almonds and season with salt and pepper as needed.
Place on platter and top with grated pecorino cheese. Serve immediately (or can be kept in the fridge for up to 1-2 days and served lukewarm or cold.)
