BEST EVER BROCCOLI RECIPE

Broccoli is a favourite in my family, we usually have it simply boiled with cheese sauce. However, here is a REAL DELISH way - I doubt we will ever have it just boiled again.
Two large heads of broccoli, cut into largest florets. (make sure they are dry, if you feel you must rinse them first make sure you dry them really, really well) Pop them in roasting pan and drizzle over about 5 T Olive oil, 1 big teaspoon salt, and half teaspoon black pepper, and 4 cloves peeled slice garlic. Now give them a good old stir up so they are evenly coated, then make sure they are pretty much singe layer and pop in preheated oven of 425. Roast them for about 20 minutes (they will caramelise and tips start to brown) When you bring them out, add the zest and juice of a lemon, another couple tablespoons Olive oil, and about a third of a cup of parmesan cheese. You can also add a wee handful of toasted pine nuts if you have them, and a ltlle fresh basil is good too, but still delicious without them.
