Crispy Roasted Broccoli with Garlic Chips

In this recipe, fresh broccoli is roasted until tender and slightly caramelized, then topped with homemade garlic chips for an extra layer of flavor. This dish takes about 25 minutes to prepare and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

1 pound fresh broccoli florets
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Juice of 1 lemon
Grated Parmesan cheese for serving (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Prepare the Broccoli: In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes until evenly coated.
Roast the Broccoli: Spread the broccoli in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the broccoli is tender.
Make Garlic Chips: While the broccoli is roasting, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and the sliced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is golden and crispy. Remove from heat and set aside.
Combine and Serve: Once the broccoli is done, remove it from the oven and drizzle with lemon juice. Top with the crispy garlic chips and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve warm.
