Roasted Broccoli with Lemon
From EatingWell: Winter 2004, EatingWell for a Healthy Heart Cookbook (2008)
Maybe you've never considered cooking broccoli this way, but roasting yields surprisingly good results. The heat concentrates the flavors and caramelizes the natural sugars. A touch of olive oil gives it a crispy, delicious finish.
