Roasted Lemon Garlic Broccoli- oh the benefits of broccoli!

Are you sick of steamed veggies?? Roast them! I (Jessica) have to say I was actually getting sick of my same old steamed broccoli so I decided to switch things up. I have roasted cauliflower in the past, but never thought of roasting broccoli before. I'm sure glad I did! Did you know how many great benefits there are to eating broccoli. I've tried switching veggies, but after years of eating broccoli, my body actually craves it.

I love broccoli because of all the vitamins. However, the number one reason I like broccoli is due to it helping prevent inflammation. According to the journal Arthritis & Rheumatism, substances found in broccoli such as sulfer, may also battle inflammation, which is at the root of osteoarthritis, a painful, degenerative joint disease in which cartilage that normally protects joints starts to wear away under the influence of the inflammatory factors. 

This is great news since so many people are affected by this disease. 

Here is my roasted lemon garlic recipe:

Preheat oven to 425. 

In large bowl put broccoli and a little water or oil depending on your macro needs so the seasoning sticks to the broccoli. Mix it up. 

Place broccoli on a large tray and sprinkle to your liking the following: rosemary, "no salt", pepper, true lemon (google it), garlic powder. 

Roast in oven for 16-20 minutes depending on how burnt you like it! 

Enjoy!
