Magic Broccoli

  • Recipe Submitted by on

Category: Healthy Recipes, Broccoli

 Ingredients List

  • 2 medium heads of broccoli (see notes)
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely sliced
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, separated
  • ½ tsp salt (adjust to your taste)
  • Black pepper
  • Zest of half a lemon
  • 1½ tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp freshly grated parmesan cheese

 Directions


1. Preheat oven to 180C/350F.

2. Cut broccoli into florets and piled onto baking tray.

3. Drizzle with 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, scatter with garlic, salt and pepper. Use your fingers to toss, then spread out over tray in a single layer. Adjust salt to your taste.

4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the tips of the florets are slightly browned. The broccoli should be "tender crisp", meaning just cooked through, not overcooked and floppy.

5. Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle over the lemon juice and remaining 2 tbsp olive oil. Toss to combine. Scatter over lemon zest and parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
