Lemon Basil Roasted Broccoli
Lemon Basil Broccoli is a sweet, tangy side roasted to perfection, bringing out the unique anise tones of the basil.
Lemon pairs beautifully with basil to enhance the mildly bitter flavor of roasted broccoli. Roasting the broccoli typically makes it slightly crispy; however, the moisture content from the oil and lemon juice in this recipe will allow it to get more tender with a slight crispness on the edges.
