YUM, YUMMY...broccoli?

YES!  it is delicious!  i found this on pinterest, and some of you have probably seen it on there, too.  i've made it three times already (each time forgetting one element), and it still tasted excellent each time.  you can find the original recipe here, but here is my version and easy list of instructions :)

INGREDIENTS:

couple of large bunches of broccoli

fresh garlic

kosher salt

fresh ground pepper

olive oil

lemon

shredded parmesan

basil (optional, but it is excellent w/)

PREPARE:

-preheat oven to 425

-place sheet of foil on cookie sheet

-cut florets off broccoli

-slice 4 cloves of garlic

-place brocco and garlic in large bowl, drizzle olive oil, salt and pepper to taste

COOK:

-place in oven for 20-25 minutes (brocco will brown a little...a crispiness you will love!)

**meanwhile, chop up that basil and have lemon and zester handy**

FINISH:

-put all that goodness back in large bowl

-zest lemon over brocco (do NOT skip...never skip lemon zest, it makes a HUGE difference in any recipe!)

-slice lemon and squeeze over brocco

-drizzle a tad more oil

-sprinkle parm cheese (about a handful)

-sprinkle basil and toss all together

ENJOY!
