Roasted Broccoli With Lemon image

The heat concentrates the flavors and caramelizes the natural sugars. A touch of olive oil gives a crispy, delicious finish. (Eating Well, Winter 2004) This is an easy and yummy alternative to steaming. Something about the oil and salt combination that makes this so good.
