Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh broccoli florets

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

4 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

4 slices rustic bread (such as sourdough or ciabatta)

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Begin by setting your oven to 400°F (200°C). To simplify cleanup, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the broccoli: In a large mixing bowl, combine the fresh broccoli florets, the melted butter, minced garlic, red pepper flakes (if you desire a bit of spice), and season with salt and pepper. Toss all the ingredients together until the broccoli is evenly coated in the garlic butter mixture.

      Roast the broccoli: Transfer the broccoli mixture onto the lined baking sheet, spreading it out in a single layer. Roast in the preheated oven for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the broccoli becomes tender and starts to get golden brown and crispy around the edges.

        Toast the bread: While the broccoli is roasting, take another baking sheet and lay the rustic bread slices flat on it. Drizzle or brush a small amount of olive oil on each slice. Place this tray in the oven and toast the bread for about 5-7 minutes, or until it turns a delightful golden brown and has a crispy texture.

          Combine and assemble: Once the broccoli is done roasting, remove it from the oven and drizzle it with lemon juice for a refreshing zing. On a serving platter, lay out the toasted bread slices and generously top each slice with the roasted garlic butter broccoli.

            Finish with cheese: Sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the broccoli on each toast, allowing it to melt slightly from the warmth of the vegetables.

              Garnish and serve: Add a sprinkle of finely chopped fresh parsley on top for an added burst of color and flavor. Serve immediately while still warm and enjoy the delightful combination!
