March 8th, 2021

Ingredients:

  • 8 oz. Broccoli

  • 2 tsp. Garlic, crushed

  • Zest and juice of 1 fresh citrus fruit (lemon, orange, tangelo, or grapefruit all work well)

  • 1 Tbs. Extra virgin olive oil

  • ⅛ tsp. Kosher salt (or to taste)

Procedure:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 F.

  2. Finely grate the zest of the citrus with a Microplane or grater, set zest aside.

  3. Juice the citrus fruit and reserve the juice.

  4. Toss the broccoli, olive oil, garlic, and a generous pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. 

  5. Lay the broccoli in a single layer on a roasting pan and roast for 15-20 minutes, until the edges of the florets start to brown and get crispy, and the stems are tender.

  6. Remove broccoli from the oven, drizzle with the reserved juice, and sprinkle with the zest.
