Roasted Broccoli with Garlic and Lemon

Broccoli was on sale last week at the grocery store so I bought a bunch of it. Then I had to start figuring out what to do with it all.  Of course there's the general steaming and tossing with olive oil and salt, serving it raw with dip. Last night I decided to try roasting it and it turned out fantastic!!!!!!!! This makes a light side dish that can stand on it's own.

2 heads fresh broccoli, chopped down to bite sized pieces

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp ground black pepper

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tablespoon lemon juice.

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees

2. In a large bowl combine broccoli, olive oil and garlic.

3. Spread broccoli in a single layer on a baking sheet.  

4. Bake for 10 minutes then stir broccoli.  Check to make sure broccoli isn't getting too dark. Bake for 5 minutes more if needed.

5. Plate broccoli and drizzle with lemon juice for a bright citrus finish.
