1 large head of broccoli (1 1/2 pounds), cut into 1 1/2-inch florets, stems peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon minced shallot

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. On a large baking sheet, toss the broccoli florets and stems with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Roast the broccoli in the oven for about 30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until browned and tender.
In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice with the shallot and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil; season the dressing with salt and pepper. Scrape the broccoli into a bowl.
Add the dressing and the grated cheese, toss well, and serve.
