Oven Roasted Broccoli

Ingredients:
Broccoli
EVOO
Salt
Pepper
Lemon Juice
Crushed garlic

Preheat your oven to 450

Place your broccoli on an oven sheet (I lined it with foil), drizzle evoo, sprinkle salt, pepper and add crushed garlic.
Before going in the oven


                        

Place in the oven for about 18-20 minutes, when it's done cooking, pull it out and pour some lemon juice over the top and BAM!  All done.  =)

After  

My thoughts, next time I cook this i'm going to omit the garlic, it was still good, but seemed to over power the taste of the broccoli.
