Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

On the prepared baking sheet, toss the broccoli florets with the oil, garlic, salt, and pepper.

Step 3

Spread the broccoli in a single layer and roast in the oven until the edges are golden and lightly browned and the stems are crisp-tender, about 14-18 minutes.

Step 4

Sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan if using and serve right away.
