Roasted Broccoli with Lemon and Asiago

Quick-roasting broccoli for this roasted broccoli with lemon dish brings out its nutty flavor that pairs beautifully with Asiago. The method helps the broccoli retain its bright green color. Don't cover the broccoli after cooking; the trapped steam will continue to cook the broccoli.
