Roasted Broccoli

This super-simple recipe for roasted broccoli just {might} have your kids eating their vegetables at dinner! Now I know there are some broccoli haters out there, but I think you'll be surprised at how roasting this despicable veggie brings out its better side.  This is now my favorite way to make broccoli...
Roasted Broccoli
Serves: 6 (serving size: 1 cup)
Calories: 100 ▪ Fat: 6g ▪ Carbs: 8g ▪ Dietary Fiber: 3g ▪ Protein: 5g
6 cups broccoli florets
4 garlic cloves, peeled & minced
2 T extra virgin olive oil
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Place the broccoli florets on a large sheet pan so that they are in a single layer. Toss the garlic on the broccoli and drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, until lightly browned on the tips and crisp-tender.
Remove from oven and immediately toss with lemon zest, lemon juice and Parmesan.  Serve immediately.
