Best Broccoli EVER!

jenne1017 · 12-31-2009, 01:16 PM

What you need:

3-4 bunches of fresh brocolli, stems cut off and washed/patted dry
2-3 cloves of garlic, cut into thin slivers
2 tablespoons of olive oil
salt and pepper
1/2 lemon (juice)
2 tablespoons of fresh parmesan cheese
salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Take broccoli heads and combine with the garlic, S&P and olive oil. Cook in over for 20 minutes. The ends get charred but they are NOT BURNED. Believe me, it tastes yum. Do not peek in the oven - keep the door closed so it crisps a bit.

Once out of the oven, scoop into a bowl and add parm and stir. Then add lemon juice to taste. I will never make broccoli any other way again!

We cook broccoli and cauliflower mixed this way. I agree, easiest best broccoli recipe ever

Add some carrots, mushrooms and zucchini to the mix, and serve it over ww pasta. Top with diced avocado and you'll have the yummiest meal ever.

thanks, this was great, I love french fries and stems have the same texture as fries.

How many people does this serve? 2 tablespoons of olive oil for a side dish seems like alot.

Roasted veggies with a splash of EVOO are by far the BEST ever. I've done it with asparagus too, YUMMY

I make a LOT of broccoli - probably 6-8 servings. You can use a teaspoon or two for a single, small head.
