How to Make Roasted Broccoli With Gremolata

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

  3. Add the bread crumbs and toast, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets with the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  6. Spread the broccoli in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  7. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the broccoli is crisp-tender and lightly browned.
  8. Remove from oven and drizzle with lemon juice.
  9. Transfer the broccoli to a serving platter, sprinkle generously with the gremolata, and serve immediately.
