broccoli in paradise

This broccoli is really good. Really, really good. I substituted plain old steamed broccoli for the Caesar salad with our spaghetti last week and had to fight the kids to eat it. I saw this recipe today and decided it was worth a shot. It's easy and seriously delicious. Try it!

Roasted Broccoli

2 pounds broccoli, washed and cut into bite-sized pieces and dried thoroughly (i buy a pre-washed bag at Sam's--so easy!)

2-3 Tbsp. olive oil

1 tsp. salt, better with kosher or sea salt

dash pepper

4 cloves garlic, peeled and sliced (or about 1/2 tsp. garlic powder)

1 Tbsp. lemon juice

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 425. Line baking sheet with foil. Toss broccoli, olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic and spread on baking sheet. Roast for about 15-20 minutes, or until broccoli is tender and some pieces have browned edges. Remove from oven and drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with cheese. Enjoy!
