Oven Roasted Broccoli

Dress it up fancy, or just sprinkle on a little salt and pepper. Either way, roasted broccoli is a quick and tasty way to round out almost any meal.

YIELD 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

        2 heads of broccoli, chopped

        2 to 3 tablespoons oil (coconut is my favorite, but if you use olive oil, just make sure the heat doesn't get too high)

        1 teaspoon salt

        1/2 teaspoon pepper

        Optional: red pepper flakes, minced or powdered garlic, shredded parmesan, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice

INSTRUCTIONS

    1.    Preheat oven to 425F

    2.    Wash, dry and chop broccoli

    3.    Toss in oil, salt and pepper and spread onto an oiled baking sheet in an even layer

    4.    Bake for 15-20 minutes until crisp-tender, turning broccoli over on the sheet half-way through

Optional: Dress it up with your choice of goodies (parm, garlic, lemon juice or red pepper flakes)
