What type of Broccoli Cutting is Required to Make this Delicious Cuisine?

First of all, take your broccoli florets in a large bowl, then you have to add some olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, lemon zest, pepper, and any other spices of your choice. Mix them well using your hands until every floret gets a perfect layer of seasoning. The purpose of using olive oil is to adhere to all the seasoning components over broccoli florets and help them get crispy brown color outside.
