Roasted Garlic Lemon Broccoli

[Snickerdoodle]

Description: Found this recipe last month and it's become a regular favorite in our house!!! Very quick and easy and the broccoli winds up a nice texture after baking in the oven- which is different too!

Preparation: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Separate the broccoli heads into florets

Difficulty: Easy

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

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.

I make it Kerryn's way except I toss the broccoli in with the garlic/lemon mixture. It seems to coat every piece better. Also, I use about 5 cloves of garlic

I'm trying it with purple cauliflower tonight. per Garrett's request
