Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs. broccoli cut into florets (about 1 large head)
  • 4 cloves garlic thinly sliced or slivered
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Juice and zest of one lemon
  • kosher salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Place the broccoli florets (1.5 lbs.) and sliced garlic (4 cloves) on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle the 2 tablespoons of olive oil on top, and add the lemon zest, along with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Toss with your hands to coat and spread out evenly on the baking sheet.
  3. Roast for 15-20 minutes, tossing once halfway through, until broccoli is tender and starting to brown, and sliced garlic is toasted and golden brown.
  4. Squeeze the fresh lemon juice on top of the broccoli. Season to taste with salt and pepper, if needed. Stir to coat and serve.

Notes

  • Time saving tip: most grocery stores have broccoli already cut into florets, which will save you some prep time.
  • Spice it up: add crushed red pepper before roasting.
  • Add other veggies, such as cauliflower florets, small diced carrots, or add chickpeas for extra protein.
  • The provided nutrition information does not include any added sodium from seasoning to taste, any optional ingredients, and it does not take brands into account. Feel free to calculate it yourself using this calculator or by adding the recipe to Yummly.
