Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 lemon cut crosswise into 1/4-inch thick rounds
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli and blanch for 1 minute. Drain.
- Place the butter in an ovenproof skillet (I prefer cast iron - especially a pan you've used for eons, so it's well-seasoned). Place the skillet in the oven for about 2 minutes, until the butter melts. Remove the pan from the oven and add the garlic and broccoli to the butter. Toss to coat. Arrange the lemon slices in the pan and season everything with salt and black pepper.
- Roast for 5 to 8 more minutes, until the broccoli just starts to turn golden brown and the lemons are charred.
