- Add the chopped garlic and cook for about a minute until fragrant.

- Remove the cover and continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender but still vibrant green.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot as a side dish or add it to your favorite pasta or rice dish. Enjoy!
Notes
– Make sure to spread the broccoli out evenly on the baking sheet. This will help to ensure that the broccoli cooks evenly.
– If you want the broccoli to be extra crispy, you can broil it for 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking.
– To make the dish vegan, simply omit the butter and Parmesan cheese, and use olive oil instead.
– If you want to add some extra flavor, you can sprinkle some dried herbs or red pepper flakes over the broccoli before baking.
– You can also add some cooked bacon or diced tomatoes to the broccoli before baking.
– If you want to add some extra protein to the dish, you can add cooked chicken or shrimp.
