Roasted Broccoli with Garlic Lemon Dressing

I wanted a way to elevate broccoli besides my usual sauteed broccoli florets. Serving it in a larger piece is not only more impressive, you save prep time with less chopping!

Ingredients:

2 small broccoli crowns (about 8 ounces each)

4 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided

Salt and Pepper

1 tsp. lemon zest

1 Tbsp. lemon juice

1 clove garlic, finely grated

1/4 tsp. cayenne 

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F.

2. Slice broccoli crowns in half. Toss with 2 tablespoons oil and ¼ teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast until the stems are tender and browned, 25 to 30 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, combine lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, pepper and the remaining ⅛ teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the roasted broccoli.
