Roasted Broccoli with Lemon
Maybe you've never considered cooking broccoli this way, but roasting yields surprisingly good results. The heat concentrates the flavors and caramelizes the natural sugars. A touch of olive oil gives it a crispy, delicious finish.
Ingredients
-
4 cups broccoli florets
-
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
Freshly ground pepper
-
Lemon wedges
Directions
1.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
2.
Toss broccoli with oil, salt and pepper. Place on a large baking sheet (not air-insulated) and roast until the broccoli is tender and blackened on the bottom, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve immediately, with lemon wedges.
