You guys. This recipe is a little treasure. Recently a friend of mine shared that she had tried roasting broccoli in the oven one day and never looked back. I took her advice and tried it myself and even though I loved broccoli before, this takes it to a whole other level.
The little broccoli stalks get nice and tender, and the “leaves” get crispy and delicious. With a little salt and pepper, a couple cloves of garlic, and some olive oil, this simple side dish couldn’t get much easier. Squeeze some lemon and grate a little fresh parmesan over the top and you’re ready to enjoy!
I adapted this recipe from one called “Magic Broccoli” over on Recipe Tin Eats – I just discovered her blog and imagine I’ll be spending lots of time combing through her delicious looking recipes soon! Hop over there to she what she’s cooking up!
