I decided to give lemon roasted broccoli a try when I was looking for a unique way to prepare broccoli. Florets are roasted after being tossed in olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and minced garlic. A squeeze of lemon juice before serving seals the deal.
Ingredients
- heads broccoli, separated into florets: 2 piece
- extra-virgin olive oil: 2 tsp
- sea salt: 1 tsp
- ground black pepper: 0.5 tsp
- clove garlic: 1 piece (minced)
- lemon juice: 0.5 tsp

Stages of cooking
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
-
Toss broccoli florets with extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, pepper, and garlic in a large bowl. Spread the broccoli out in an even layer on a baking sheet.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until florets are tender enough to pierce the stems with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove and transfer to a serving platter.
-
Squeeze lemon juice liberally over broccoli before serving for a refreshing, tangy finish. jewels
