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

Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender broccoli: Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green in color and have tightly closed florets. Avoid crowns with yellow or wilted florets.
- Cut the broccoli into uniform florets: This will help them cook evenly. If the florets are too large, they may not cook through properly.
- Blanch the broccoli before roasting: This will help to preserve its bright green color and crisp texture. To blanch the broccoli, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Drain the broccoli immediately and rinse with cold water.
- Toss the broccoli with olive oil, lemon juice, and Parmesan cheese: This will help to create a flavorful and crispy coating on the broccoli.
- Roast the broccoli at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the broccoli and give it a slightly charred flavor.
- Serve the broccoli immediately: This is when it is at its best. You can garnish the broccoli with additional Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, or chopped parsley.
