Ingredients:

Serving

1 or 2 bunches broccoli, washed and dried
olive oil
salt and pepper
garlic cloves, peeled and sliced (optional)
lemon zest
lemon juice
parmesan cheese, grated
capers (optional)
basil , slivered (optional)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 deg. F.
Cut the thick bottom parts of the broccoli off and discard. Slice the remaining stem(s) into slightly more than 1/4 inch thick slices. Separate the florets into somewhat sizable chunks. Put the stems and florets in a bowl, and toss with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Scatter the veggies on a baking sheet and place on the center rack in the oven. Roast for about 10-12 minutes, then remove sheet and stir the broccoli. Add the sliced garlic cloves at this point, if desired. Put back in the oven and roast for another 5-10 minutes until broccoli is crisp-tender and some parts are nicely browned.
Remove the broccoli and place back in the bowl. Toss in lemon zest and lemon juice to taste, Parmesan cheese, and capers and basil (if using). Taste to adjust seasoning.
Make Ahead: This dish can be made the day before. Gently re-warm before serving.
