Roasted Broccoli

Roasting broccoli is my new favourite way of cooking it!!I got this recipe from one of my favourite cookbook authors Ina Garten.  I roast it with garlic and olive oil, with a little sprinkling of Kosher salt and fresh black pepper. As soon as it comes out of the oven it is finished with lemon zest, lemon juice and freshly grated Parmesan cheese, Yummy!! This really elevates broccoli to another level, thanks Ina!!



Ingredients:


8 Cups Broccoli florets with approximately 1-2 inches of stalk attached.
4 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
5 Tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons lemon zest, grated
2 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
½ Cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Place broccoli in a single layer on sheet.
Sprinkle garlic slices over top.
Drizzle 4 tablespoons olive oil over broccoli.
Toss broccoli with your hands to distribute the oil evenly.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Roast for about 20-25 minutes, tender-crisp.
Remove from oven and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest and parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately.
