Step 1 of 3

The florets must be dry so don't wash. If the bacteria can survive 320°F/200°C for 25 minutes, washing with water is not likely to kill them either. If you must wash dry intensely

Step 2 of 3

Mix the florets with oil, salt, pepper and slices of garlic. See tap for amount ⬇Bake In 320°F/200°C for 20-25 minutes or until the tips are brown and the florets are soft.

Step 3 of 3

This is when the magic happens. Sprinkle with lemon zest and juice of same lemon. Grate with Parmesan and optional pine nuts and finely chopped basil. Wonderful as starter, light lunch or side dish

Dear Shawn it so easy to make. Just make sure the florets are dry or else they boil and you want them to fry. Let me know how it goes

Dear Rane yes you can add the stems just cut them small. I use the stem in soup or freeze with other veggie cut offs for a leftover bonanza later.

Karen Larard (author) 7 months ago

Can you add the stems too? Will they cook differently enough that I should simply leave them out? My daughter loves the stems lol
