About
Crack Broccoli is so appealing, so inherently delicious that even children would be excited to eat their vegetables if they were all like this. Crunchy, slightly sweet broccoli is roasted to a crisp golden brown and coated with tangy, fragrant spices and bright lemon flavors to maximize your tastebuds' joy! Crispy toasted almonds and sharp parmesan cheese just make comparing Crack Broccoli to other vegetable dishes simply unfair. This is a speedy side dish that will make you crack a smile!
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/2 lemon, zested
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ranch seasoning powder
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 1/2 pounds broccoli crowns, washed and chopped
- 1/4 cup raw almonds, sliced
- 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated
Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
