Oven Roasted Broccoli

1 bunch of broccoli, washed , dried (you really want it dried) and cut into spears

2 teaspoons olive oil, more or less depending on how much broccoli you have

 1 teaspoon minced garlic

salt

pepper

juice of 1/2 a lemon (or a couple squirts from a lemon juice bottle)

Place broccoli on  foil lined baking sheet.

Drizzle with olive oil.

Sprinkle with minced garlic, salt and pepper.  Use your hands to make sure everything is evenly distributed.

ready for the oven...


Place in 500* oven for 10- 15 minutes, depending on how crispy you want your broccoli.
When done to your likeness, drizzle a little lemon juice over all and toss to coat. 

This picture does not do this justice. The crispier it gets, the better it tastes! .



I can't describe how different this is from steamed broccoli. The flavor is so intense and savory, you won't want to make it any other way. Caleb and I particularly like this and can eat the entire bowl without any help!
