Roasting broccoli is a wonderful change from steaming or stir-frying, bringing out a sweetness and complexity you might not have known was there. A simple finish of bright lemon and salty cheese adds a burst of freshness and flavor.

Pecorino Romano is a firm, sharp-tasting sheep's milk cheese. It's similar to Parmesan, which makes a fine substitute.
