Ingredients
2 large heads broccoli (about 2 pounds total)
4 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Coarse salt
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 1/2 lemon)
1 ounce Manchego cheese, finely grated (1/3 cup)
Preparation
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Trim 1 inch from end of broccoli stalks. Cut off florets, and separate into large pieces. Using a vegetable peeler or paring knife, peel the outer layer of stalks; thinly slice crosswise.
Divide broccoli (both stalks and florets), garlic, oil, and red-pepper flakes between two large rimmed baking sheets; season with salt. Roast until broccoli is crisp-tender and beginning to brown, 20 to 25 minutes, rotating sheets from top to bottom and tossing broccoli once halfway through.
Remove from oven. Sprinkle broccoli with lemon juice; toss to coat. Serve, topped with Manchego.
