- 1 tsp Fresh Coarse Ground Black Pepper powdered black pepper works too!
Garnishing
- 1 tbsp Hemp Hearts more or less based on preference

- Squeeze of Lemon
Instructions
- Clean and dry broccoli florets. I like to buy precut and pre-washed broccoli so it makes this recipe very quick. Dry broccoli is the key to this recipe as it we want to keep the broccoli crunchy after its roasted.
- Remove all the leaves from the broccoli. Cut and pul away the all of the florets.
- Cut the bigger florets into smaller pieces. Try to keep all the florets uniformly sized to make sure they cook evenly. Then cut the core in half lengthwise, then into 5 or 6 smaller pieces.
- Place the cut broccoli onto a baking tray. Drizzle all the extra virgin olive oil on the broccoli. Add sliced garlic, salt and pepper. Mix it very well with your hands making sure all broccoli pieces got coated with the oil.
- Pre heat the oven on 450°F. Place the tray into the over once its preheated. Bake it for 8 minutes and its ready!
- Garnish it with freshly grated pecorino romano, hemp hearts and squeeze of lemon!
