Follow these simple steps to create your Garlic Parmesan Roasted Broccoli:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. Prepare the Broccoli: Rinse the broccoli florets under cold water and pat them dry with a towel.

3. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the broccoli, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss until the broccoli is well coated.

4. Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the broccoli and toss again to ensure all florets are evenly coated.

5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the broccoli out in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

6. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes. The broccoli should be tender and slightly crispy at the edges.

7. Check for Doneness: Halfway through roasting, give the broccoli a quick toss to ensure even cooking.

8. Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and serve immediately with lemon wedges for a fresh burst of flavor.
