Oven Roasted Broccoli Recipe
Broccoli has been a part of our menu these days so I make sure to try new recipes with it. It is not really easy to get fresh broccoli here all the time so whenever I get a chance I dont miss it.Whenever we visit Pazhamudhir I always search for fresh broccoli and it gives such satisfaction to see the fresh green veggie. I referred 2-3 sites from fg and tried this oven roasted broccoli, it came out so good that it just pops up like a candy, a perfect starter.

Oven Roasted Broccoli Recipe - Ingredients

Preparation Time : 10 mins | Cooking Time : 30 mins | Makes : 6 parathas
Recipe Category: Snack / Appetiser | Recipe Cuisine: World

Broccoli - 2 cups(cut into bite sized florets)
Olive Oil -1 tbsp
Garlic - 4 small pearls(grinded to a fine paste)
Lemon zest - 1/4 tsp
Lemon Juice - 1 tsp
Parmesan Cheese - 1 tbsp (I used cube cheese)
Sesame seeds - 2 tsp
Salt - to taste

Method:

  1. Boil water(just enough for the broccoli to immerse), while its boiling add the broccoli florets and let it cook for just 3mins(this step is purely optional but I do this to get rid of the worms if any). Switch off. Drain water and keep aside. In a mixing bowl add all the ingredients except sesame seeds listed along with broccoli, then add lemon juice.

  2. Add olive oil and give a quick stir. Lay an aluminium foil and arrange the broccoli florets,drizzle sesame seeds.Meanwhile preheat the oven at 215 deg C for 10mins. Then bake it in toast/pizza mode for 15-20mins(timing purely depends on your oven type)or until golden brown. Change the mode to grill for the last 2mins which gives the browning and makes the broccoli more crispier.
