June recipes

Lynnette shared this recipe with us last week so here it is for everyone.

Roasted Broccoli with Lemon

From EatingWell.com

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.

Makes 4 servings, 1 cup each
Ingredients:
4 cups broccoli florets
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper
Lemon wedges

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. Toss broccoli with oil, salt and pepper. Place on a large baking sheet (not air-insulated) and roast until the broccoli is tender and blackened on the bottom, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve immediately, with lemon wedges.
