Roasted Garlic Lemon Broccoli

Let's face it- eating steamed broccoli without any seasoning over and over can be a tad on the boring side. But let's be clear- I am not about to add so much butter, cheese, and cream that it defeats the whole purpose of even eating a vegetable in the first place. I love pure and wholesome vegetables but believe in enhancing the flavors with fresh, simple ingredients. This recipe for Roasted Garlic Lemon Broccoli does just that.

Ingredients:

• 2 heads broccoli, separated into florets (or you could be lazy like me and buy a bag of already cut broccoli)
• 2 tsp. EVOO
• 1 tsp. sea salt
• 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 C Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 tsp. lemon juice (or more)

Directions:

• Preheat the oven to 400º F.
• Toss broccoli with EVOO, salt, pepper, garlic, and Parmesan cheese. Spread broccoli onto baking sheet.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes. Squeeze lemon juice over broccoli before serving.

I'm convinced that you can add olive oil and garlic to anything, and it will taste 100x better.

Great recipe- the broccoli was so flavorful!

I bought these Applegate Organics Turkey Burgers at Publix the other day and thought it would perfectly complement the broccoli and round out the meal with a little protein.

I read on the back of the box that the turkey burgers are especially good topped with Dijon mustard and chopped green onion, so I gave it a try. It ended up being such a great meal- and so easy! I'm a big fan of convenience these days.

The art of simplicity.
