I often get broccoli in my reclaimed food box and normally use it in a stir-fry, but next time I’m going to try this recipe! Thanks! 🙂

Weird, I am eating roasted broccoli RIGHT NOW! My friendly tip: I make the broccoli after I’ve pan-roasted chicken thighs (which I start on the stovetop but finish in the oven). Once the chicken is done I put it on a plate, then toss the broccoli (minus the oil from the recipe) in the chickeny oily goodness left in the pan, then put it back in the oven. Adds even more flavor, and I only have to wash one pan!

We love it roasted with parm. Squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over it just before serving. It’s so yummy!
