Supposed To Be The Best Broccoli

Saturday, April 16th, 2011

I stumbled across a broccoli recipe on another blog and the recipe was touted as the best broccoli recipe EVER!

So I had to try it.

Toss some broccoli with olive oil, salt and pepper and some minced garlic. I used fresh broccoli in a gallon ziplock.

Put into a pan and ROAST in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the edges are crisp and browned.

Take it out of the oven and drizzle some fresh lemon zest and the juice of half a lemon, then add a little more olive oil and top with pine nuts and parmesan.

Almost best ever broccoli

Kind of different don’t you think? Chili-man liked it ok enough. Me? I didn’t like the sour factor that the lemon juice gave it.

The dish was supposed to make even a broccoli hater go ‘ga ga’ over broccoli.

Um, well, maybe, but I won’t make it again.
