Roasted Garlic Lemon Broccoli

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.

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

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.

Step 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.

Step 4

Squeeze lemon juice liberally over broccoli before serving for a refreshing, tangy finish.
