Roasted Garlic Lemon Broccoli

[Trailpal]

I got this from an online recipe site, it's easy and good! I often do a "summer medley" of veggies the same way - summer squash, zucchini, eggplant chunks, cherry tomatoes, peppers, whatever is handy.

The original recipe is here - allrecipes.com/Recipe/Roasted-Garlic-Lemon-Broccoli/Detail.aspx - if you want to check other recipes from them.

And here is the actual recipe:
INGREDIENTS
* 2 heads broccoli, separated into florets
* 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
* 1 teaspoon sea salt
* 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
* 1 clove garlic, minced
* 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice


DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, toss broccoli florets with the extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, pepper and garlic. Spread the broccoli out in an even layer on a baking sheet.
3. 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 the broccoli before serving for a refreshing, tangy finish.

Yum yum!

As a side note, I use All Recipes 95 percent of the time when I'm looking for yummy things to eat. I love how recipes are rated and that users can add comments about recipes and variations.

This is excellent when you are BBQing steaks. You can get the broccolli ready ahead of time. Baked potatoes hold well. So, when the BBQ is FINALLY ready and the steaks are actually cooking--then you can pop this in the oven. It is pretty impressive when things are all ready at the same time LOL.

I sprinkled some roasted pine nuts over the broccoli this time---nice contrast.

This was yummers! Tho we liked it better without the lemon juice. This will definitely become a favorite. I used cooking spray so it is WW friendly, too.
