Roasted Parmesan Broccoli

Here’s a quick, delicious way to prepare broccoli, that pairs perfectly with Veal or Chicken Picatta (and I’m sure other dishes as well!). The simplicity of this dish is in roasting the broccoli at a high heat, producing tasty caramelization. Adding the parmesan after roasting keeps the cheese from potentially burning, yet still melts nicely from the residual heat. I think it is time to roast some broccoli, don’t you?
