INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat the oven to 475 ranges Fahrenheit. essential be aware: i exploit a separate oven thermometer to make sure that my oven is calibrated properly. The high temperature guarantees even and deep caramelization (and additional crispy, flavorful florets!). in case your oven runs warm (you may test this through the use of an oven thermometer) otherwise you select much less crispy florets, lessen the oven temperature to 425F - 450F and regulate cooking time as essential.
2. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil. Trim any dry, tough ends of the broccoli crowns, leaving more or less 2-inches of stalk connected. Slice the broccoli into ½-inch-thick steaks, beginning in the middle of every broccoli crown and running out to the rims, reserving any small or medium florets that fall off for roasting. Slice any large ultimate florets in 1/2 lengthwise.
3. In a big bowl, whisk together the olive oil, pressed garlic, and pink pepper flakes. add the broccoli steaks and toss gently until lightly lined. set up the broccoli, cut-aspect down, on the lined sheet pan, putting them apart barely. Sprinkle with salt.
4. Roast the broccoli for 10 to 12 mins. dispose of the pan from the oven, turn the broccoli, and sprinkle the almond slices lightly throughout the sheet pan. Roast for an additional 8 to 10 minutes, or until the broccoli is flippantly caramelized and fork gentle, and the almond slices are toasted and golden.
5. switch the broccoli to a platter, toss lightly with the lemon juice and top with the grated pecorino cheese. Garnish with clean lemon zest. Serve hot or at room temperature (it additionally tastes extremely good cold). Leftover broccoli can be saved in an hermetic box in the fridge for up to two days.
