Our most favorite way to enjoy broccoli is by roasting it. My little one and me especially enjoy munching on it even during our evening snack time. I started roasting it few years back when I realized that this stood a perfect substitute to my addiction of munching chips.
Oven Roasted Broccoli Recipe with Garlic and Lemon | Healthy Recipes
This is a simple, hassle free recipe with very few ingredients. It takes very little effort as well. Since my dude loves it , I try to increase the bang for the buck with additional nutrition by drizzling hemp oil or Flax oil. At times, I even sprinkle it with Nutritional Yeast instead of cheese for a Vitamin B12 boost. To make a substantial meal, I thrown in some Cauliflower or for a protein boost, some cooked chickpeas. Needless to say, its immensely versatile and this dish will welcome your creativity with open arms.

Basic Information
Prep Time: Under 15 min
Cook Time: Under 30 min
Serves: 4 people
Yield: Serves 3-4 as a side dish
Ingredients
Abt 2 lbs (abt 900 grams) Broccoli
3-4 Garlic cloves, peeled and chopped - see Tips
1 tbsp Canola Oil, or as needed (see Tips)
2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese, or as needed (see Tips)
1 Lemon
Sea Salt and freshly ground Pepper to taste
Optional
Red Pepper Flakes
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Tips
1. Garlic: I used 4 large cloves of garlic since we love it. Depending on your taste preferences and the size of your garlic cloves, adjust the amount.
2. Canola Oil: I use Organic Expeller Pressed Canola Oil. Mine is specifically marked GMO free. I use this since I am going to be oven roasting above 400F and need an oil with high smoke point. You can use any other oil that has similar smoke point. Then once roasted I use 1-2 tsp of Cold Pressed (unrefined) Extra Virgin Olive oil to drizzle afterwards. Sometimes I use Hemp oil or Flax oil instead for additional nutrition.
3. Parmesan Cheese: I use Vegetarian Parmesan Cheese. For more details pls refer: Is Parmesan Cheese Vegetarian?
Method
1Preheat Oven to 425F. Chop the Broccoli into relatively large florets. I retain the hard stems for making vegetable broth/stock.

Toss and serve. These are best when made. Since both my husband and Jr. don't take well to heat, I don't add pepper flakes but instead serve it separately for yours truly to enjoy it all by herself.
Ever since I discovered roasted cauliflower couple of years ago, I have been its ardent fan. Inspite of loving this vegetable already, I find that I just love it even more when its roasted. In our house, we prefer roasted cauliflower to other variants of cooking it. It also helps that its so easy to make. Toss everything in a pan, put it in the oven and tada - dinner's set! And the cleanup is a breeeeeeeze!

Given that our farmer's market is filled with aisles of freshest winter produce, I am liking how they woo me with their brightest colors every time I visit for my groceries. Remember my Cauliflower Pakoras? I made them with the leftover cauliflower after making this dish.

I have used multi colored cauliflower florets amounting to roughly the same amount I mention here. You can use regular cauliflower to make this instead of the other colors. I wish I did not have to take the photo so late in the day. Took them just 2 hours before dinner, hence the bad lighting :( . They don't do justice to the colors! The purple cauliflower tends to lose their color which was not as beautiful to look at as the other colors (the orange and green retain their color and I thought they actually looked even brighter once roasted!), but it tasted equally delicious. Anyways, the variations and seasonings that you can add are multifold. Very easy to adapt and use your own creative spin to this dish. Try it, you might never like cauliflower any other way :)

2Add Lemon juice to taste. I used 2 full Meyer lemons, cos I love the sweet/tangy taste of this variety of lemons.

3Next add in the oil. I used Extra Virgin Olive oil for this post but you can use regular Olive oil too. Many online recipes ask for 2 tbsp but I find that we like it even with 1 tbsp (and may be even a little less).

4Have kept the seasoning basic for this post. But I have tried the other seasoning and love all of them, esp. the Indian flavors (no surprises there!). Give it a good mix with your hand

5Roast for about 20-25 minutes or until the tops are brown (and looked slightly charred). Do a fork test to check for the tenderness of the cauliflower. If it pierces easily, its done.

Except for the cheese, you can toss the seasoning before roasting and then once its done, add the cheese. I used fresh cilantro to garnish just before serving.
