Broccoli is one of the healthiest foods on the planet and with the right preparation it can also be one of the tastiest.
Broccoli contains vitamin C, vitamin A, iron, calcium, fiber and folic acid. It has also been readily studied for its potential to fight cancer. Certain phytochemicals found in broccoli are believed to have powerful cancer-killing properties. Anti-inflammatory and immune boosting qualities are also thought to be provided by broccoli.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Separate the broccoli into florets. In a large bowl, toss together florets, olive oil, garlic, chili, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 10-15 minutes, turning once, until broccoli is tender and lightly crisp. Toss broccoli with lemon juice and serve warm or cold.
