Ingredients:
- Two large heads of broccoli
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- 4 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
- 1 lemon
- Parmesan cheese
Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Either don't wash them at all (on the theory that half an hour in a hot oven will kill all the germs) or dry them obsessively after you do wash them. They need to be dry.
Line a cookie sheet with tin foil and throw down the broccoli. Toss it with 1/4 cup olive oil, salt, pepper, and the garlic. Bake for 20-25 minutes. The tips of some of the broccoli should just be starting to brown.
You're not done yet. Here comes the fun part. Dump the broccoli into a pretty serving bowl and zest the lemon into it. Then squeeze out the lemon juice. Then add another tablespoon olive oil. Then add the parmesan cheese, freshly grated or from a can.
Stir well. Be prepared to hand over the recipe.
