Dr. Weil's Roasted Broccoli with Lemon

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

1/4 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.
