Lemon baked brocolli



This is a delicious way to eat broccoli, it is amazing the difference in taste in comparison to the watery flavour and texture of steaming or boiling it.

The zing of the lemon and chili really make it special.
Its my new fave snack!
Ingredients
* 1 head of broccoli
* drizzle of olive oil
* pinch salt & pepper
* pinch chili flakes (optional)
* zest of 1/2 lemon
* juice of half a lemon
* 2 cloves garlic crushed
* parsley

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees
cut the broccoli into florets and coats lightly with olive oil, garlic & chili flakes (optional)
Sprinkle with salt & pepper
place on a baking tray and grate the lemon zest over the top
bake for 15 minutes or until slightly browned and crispy on the edges, (not too long as you want it to stay nice and green with a bit of crunch)
serve with a wedge of lemon, scattered with parsely. Or squeeze the juice over the top before serving.

yummo!
