120g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/4 cup olive oil
60g
1 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:

- Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and lightly browned, turning halfway through.

8. Serve:

Tips:

- Ensure that the broccoli florets are roughly the same size to ensure even roasting.

- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) to get a nice, crisp texture on the broccoli.
