Hi friends!
I know some of you have been waiting for this recipe for a while now, so I apologize for that! I first shared this on social media almost two months ago I think, and since then I’ve made it at least 10 times. My husband has even specially requested it a few times. So you know it’s good.
It’s literally so easy I hesitate to call it a recipe, but I’m sharing it because I am not a broccoli lover and I LOVE it when it’s prepared this way.
The secret is this broccoli is to not crowd the pan.
If you crowd the pan, you’ll get broccoli that’s more steamed than roasted. It needs room to breathe!
Lemon Roasted Broccoli
After just 10 minutes in the oven, you’ll end up with perfectly roasted broccoli. A squirt of lemon juice and a touch of salt takes the flavor to the next level! Even the little ones gobble it up!
