roasted broccoli with meyer lemon and garlic

When I put lemon slices on pizza earlier this year, a few people were a little skeptical about that idea. But if you cut them thin, you can totally eat them! They’re chewy and delicious, giving a burst of citrus flavor to any dish you add them to. I used Meyer lemons because they’re in season and they’re slightly less tart than their non-Meyer counterparts. If the thought of eating lemons just doesn’t appeal to you, you can remove them before eating. But you’re missing out!

Ingredients

1 pound broccoli crowns, broken into florets

2 tablespoons olive oil
Coarsely ground salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400ºF.
Toss all of the ingredients in a bowl. Transfer to a baking sheet that's been sprayed with additional oil or lined with parchment paper. Roast for 15-20 minutes, stirring after 10 minutes, until the broccoli is tender and just beginning to brown.
