Lemon Scented Roasted Broccoli

To me the tastiest and simplest way to cook broccoli is to roast it. All you need is some olive oil, a ramekin, and a brush to start with.

Preheat your oven to 400 and place all of the broccoli on a baking sheet. In order to perfectly season the broccoli, add some olive oil to a ramekin and brush the oil onto each piece of broccoli. When each piece is evenly coated, season with salt and pepper.

Next, using a microplane, add the zest of a lemon. All you need is the zest to give the broccoli the appropriate amount of lemon flavor, there is no need to add any of the juice.

Roast in the oven for 20 minutes.

*Useful tip, you can add the zest of a lemon to some olive oil and set aside in a container to use for salad dressing, marinades or to enhance chicken & fish dishes.
