Keto-Friendly Broccoli Side Dish
Prep Time5 mins

Total Time30 mins
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 heads broccoli 1kg
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2.5 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
- 0.5 tsp salt
- black pepper
- 1/2 lemon zest
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp parmesan cheese freshly grated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius (convection) or 220 degrees for a standard oven.
- Break broccoli into florets and halve any large ones. Similar sizes will help them roast evenly.
- Pop broccoli on baking tray, drizzle with oil, sprinkle with minced garlic, salt and pepper, and toss to cover.
- Ensuring the broccoli is all spread out, roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes. The ends should just be browning and the broccoli should be tender but crisp.
- Remove from the oven and serve warm tossed with the lemon juice, lemon zest and parmesan shavings.
