Roasted Broccoli

Ok so until this past year I have been allergic to broccoli - horrible I know. But, thankfully, now I can eat it and eat it I do - I LOVE my little green friend. Usually, I just steam it but I absolutely love this roasted broccoli - it can be eaten alone or thrown into any casserole, pasta, or what not.
It is also a great snack (even though I usually want cookies).

Roasted Broccoli
  • A couple Broccoli crowns or stems
  • Shallots – 2 large
  • Garlic – 3- 5 cloves to taste
  • Oil – either truffle, garlic, or regular olive oil – whatever you have
  • One lemon zested – reserved
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 450
Cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces, slice shallots, mince garlic. Combine all ingredients with a couple tablespoons oil and salt and pepper.
Roast for about twenty minutes (I think – I have never paid attention to the time) and then remove. Toss with lemon zest and serve.
