Baked Broccoli

 

This is soooo good! Such a wonderful mix of flavors, like something you'd find at a fine restaurant. My boys didn't want to eat it because it had "stuff on it," but that just meant more for me! Serves 4-6.

Baked Broccoli

2 heads broccoli

4 Tbsp olive oil, divided

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 Tbsp lemon juice (1/2 lemon)

3 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

2 Tbsp fresh basil, diced

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line baking sheet with foil; set aside.

2. Wash broccoli and cut into large pieces. Place in large mixing bowl and toss with 3 Tbsp of the olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic. Place in single layer of prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until broccoli is crisp-tender and tips of some pieces are browned.

3. Place broccoli in medium bowl and mix in remaining 1 Tbsp of olive oil, juice of 1/2 lemon, Parmesan cheese, and fresh basil. Serve immediately.
