I have a little confession to make…as much as I love vegetables, I rarely eat broccoli
I HATE Broccoli is my very least favorite. I know it’s full of nutrients, so I decided to roast it like I do my other favorite vegetables
I adapted this from several different recipes that I found
sliced garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, olive oil…
and Parmesan! Everything is better with Parmesan!
Bake at 400 for 30-40 minutes until everything is happy and delicious
Broccoli Candy
Ingredients
- 1-2 large heads of broccoli cut into florets
- 2-3 garlic cloves sliced
- 1 lemon juice and zest
- 2-3 oz. shaved or shredded Parmesan divided
- salt & pepper
- olive oil
Instructions
- Put broccoli florets on a cooking oil sprayed foil lined baking sheet.
- Squeeze lemon and drizzle juice over broccoli. Season with salt, lemon zest, and pepper and drizzle with olive oil.
- Using your hands, toss florets around to distribute the oil, lemon and seasoning. Spread back out into an even layer and sprinkle with garlic slices and 1/2 of Parmesan cheese
- Bake at 400 about 30 minutes, or until done to your liking. Remove from oven and add remaining cheese. Return to oven 1-2 minutes to melt cheese. Makes 3-4 servings
Now, obviously this isn’t really candy, but you will find yourself popping it your mouth like M&Ms!
The cheese forms delightful crispy crusty bites, scoop it carefully off the foil to enjoy every morsel
Guess who loves broccoli now?
