BAKED BROCCOLI / ROASTED BROCCOLI

Ingredients:

1 head broccoli 250 gms
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder or 3-4 cloves crushed garlic
1-2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese or cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Method:

1. Preheat the oven at 180 C.
2. Cut the broccoli into bite-size florets and rinse them thoroughly.
3. Keep them in a strainer till all the water is drained out so that they roast better in the oven.
4. Then, in a large bowl, toss together the broccoli, garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
5. Spread out evenly in a single layer on a rimmed baking try.
6. Spread grated cheese all over and bake it in the oven for 10-15 minutes or till the cheese melts or till the edges start getting brown.  

Notes:

1. If you like you can add 1 tbsp bread crumbs over the grated cheese and then bake the broccoli.This will make it a bit crunchy.
2. If you don't want to add cheese then roast broccoli without cheese and then you can drizzle a spoon full of lemon juice over the roasted broccoli.
