The best roasted broccoli! This recipe uses the broccoli florets and chopped tender stalks, baked in the oven with garlic, butter, and olive oil until delectably brown and tender. I double down on lemon because it pairs so well with broccoli, using grated zest and freshly squeezed juice. Finish the dish with a shower of shaved Parmesan cheese.
