Baking sheet

Pot holders
Ingredients
- 1 head broccoli
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1⁄2 teaspoon kosher salt
- grated parmesan cheese
- lemon, quartered
Instructions
-
Turn the oven on and set the heat to 500 degrees.
-
Using a sharp knife, separate broccoli into bite-size florets (the curly part) and stems.
-
Using a vegetable peeler, remove the stalks’ outer peels and cut the stalks into 2-3 inch pieces. Put the florets and peeled stems on a baking sheet.
-
Add olive oil and salt and mix well.
-
Once the oven temperature has reached 500 degrees, put the baking sheet in the oven and bake until the broccoli is lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
-
Take the sheet out of the oven. If you like, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese or lemon juice — or both.
