I have been a bad little blogger lately! SO, I'm going to make it up to you by giving you a GREAT recipe that will have even the most skeptical broccoli eaters in your house willing to give this super charged veggie another look!! This one isn't one of my own creation- it's ALL OVER Pinterest, although it looks like it's one of Ina Garten's (The Barefoot Contessa)! And she's a great cook, so you know this one's good!
This dark green super food is packed with tons of vitamins and contains the same amount of calcium gram for gram as a glass of milk!! It's a great source of fiber and contains numerous nutrients show to fight cancer! This recipe grills it almost crispy and adds a hint of garlic to the mix- which let's face it- there's no such thing as too much garlic! ;)
Ingredients:
3 cups broccoli florets- no need to neatly chop. Just chunk it up
1-2 cloves garlic for taste
Salt and pepper to taste
2 Tbsp olive oil (or grapeseed oil)
Juice of one lemon
Coat the broccoli in the oil in a bowl. Chop up the garlic cloves finely and add to bowl. After the broccoli has been tossed to coat, spread it onto a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil. Top with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Bake in an over at 425* for 20-25 minutes. Some pieces of the broccoli WILL brown.
Enjoy
