Best Broccoli Ever

Another recipe from Pinterest. I don't know if it's the best ever, but it's pretty good nad problaby healthier than bathing it in ranch dressing which is what I normally do. Preheat the oven to 425. Cut 4-5 pounds broccoli into florets (relatively big) Wash and dry them thoroughly. Put the broccoli on a cookie sheet. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. (5 Tbs olive oil, 1 1/2 tsps kosher salt, 1/2 tsp fresh ground pepper, but I just eyeballed it.) Now add 4 garlic cloves that are peeled and sliced and toss them in too. Roast in the oven 20 to 25 minutes, until crisp-tender and the tips of some of the florets are browned. I stirred them around every so often. Remove from oven. Zest a lemon over the broccoli, squeeze the lemon juice over the broccoli, add 1.5 Tbs more olive oil (I didn't do that), 3 Tbs toasted pine nuts (I left those out), and 1/3 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and 2 T julienned fresh basil (I left that out too).
