Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds broccoli crowns be sure they are dry
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano
  • Lemon wedges optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F (235°C) and set an oven rack in the middle position. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Cut the broccoli into 2-in (5-cm) florets, leaving 1 to 2 in (2.5 to 5 cm) of stems attached. Discard the remaining thick stalks. In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and sugar and mix well. Add the broccoli and toss to coat evenly. Transfer the broccoli to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Roast for 10 minutes, until the broccoli is crisp-tender and lightly browned in spots. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the grated Parmigiano Reggiano over the broccoli. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Transfer to a serving dish and gently squeeze 1 to 2 teaspoons of lemon over top. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and serve.
