In a large bowl, toss the broccoli florets with olive oil until lightly coated. Sprinkle salt over the broccoli and toss to coat.
Arrange the broccoli florets in a single layer on a baking sheet that has been rubbed with some olive oil or lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Roast at 425°F (220°C) for 16-20 minutes until cooked through (check by poking with a fork, should be fork tender) and lightly browned. The browned bits are the best! So don’t worry if you see some charring.
Put the roasted broccoli back in the bowl and toss with lots of freshly ground black pepper and the grated cheese. Be generous with the black pepper, broccoli loves it!
