Roasted Broccoli

I'm not a very big broccoli person. It seems to be one of those vegetables you either love or hate. I'm one of the weirdos that is just kind of so-so about it.  However, I absolutely love this dish. I know I've said it before but I love roasted vegetables. They are so flavorful and interesting. This is another one of Lola's favorites too. And your house will smell amazing while it's cooking. Which seems weird because broccoli usually stinks but the garlic is really the dominant flavor in this dish.

Roasted Broccoli
2-3 heads of fresh broccoli or 16 oz frozen
1/4 Cup olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/3 Cup grated parmesan

• Clean and trim the broccoli if you are using fresh. If you are using frozen, defrost it and then squeeze out as much excess water as you can.
• Toss together the broccoli, olive oil, garlic, and parmesan.
• Roast in a single layer on a baking sheet at 400° F for 20 minutes, turning half way through.

You'll notice that this recipe does not call for salt. It is honestly plenty flavorful on it's own with out any added salt.

If you want to be extra fancy, you can squeeze some lemon juice and grate some lemon zest over the broccoli once you remove it from the oven. Although I usually just make it according to the recipe above.
