Roasted Broccoli with Lemon and Garlic

May 11, 2020

This a great accompaniment to the traditional roast chook!  For veg lovers add a dollop of yoghurt and you have a tangy and nourishing meal.

Ingredients

• 1.8kg of broccoli
• 4 russian garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
• olive oil
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 2 tsp of grated lemon zest
• 2 Tbs of freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Recipe Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 220 degrees C
2. Cut the broccoli florets from the thick stalks, leaving an inch or two of stalk attached to the florets. Cut the larger pieces through the base of the head with a small knife, pulling the florets apart. You should have about 8 cups of florets.
3. Place the broccoli florets on a sheet pan large enough to hold them in a single layer. Toss the garlic on the broccoli and drizzle with 5 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
4. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until crisp-tender and the tips of some of the florets are browned.
5. Remove the broccoli from the oven and immediately toss with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, the lemon zest, lemon juice, and Parmesan.  Serve hot.
