Tips for Making Lemon Roasted Broccoli

• Cut the stems into thin coins so they cook in the time the florets need.
• If the tips are blackening before the stems soften, cover the tray loosely with foil.
• Use two trays rather than piling the broccoli onto one.

Swaps and Variations

• An eighth of a teaspoon of garlic powder per clove is the usual stand-in when you are out of fresh garlic — it will not caramelise the same way, but it carries the flavour.

Serving Suggestions

• Roast chicken
• Baked fish
• Fried eggs

Keeping and Reheating

Keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days. Eat cold or reheat in a hot oven.
