We are at the end of the week! If you are feeling like you are lacking creatively or just plain lazy, I get it! Nothing like a long week. But hopefully this recipe can spark some inspiration to start your weekend off right!

My mother *shoutout* found this recipe years ago and my family LOVES it! She has to make twice as much because our family demolishes it within minutes. It is pretty basic and requires little skill or manual labor (because slaving over the oven can be work).

I wash all my produce before using and I washed the broccoli with this spray.  I use Veggie Wash Natural Fruit & Vegetable Wash, 16-Ounce Spray which can be found here: https://www.amazon.com/Veggie-Wash-Natural-Vegetable-16-Ounce/dp/B001OHV29G/ref=asc_df_B001OHV29G/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167151917164&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4107117550374405661&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9001869&hvtargid=aud-643191255296:pla-274455990951&psc=1

It is all natural and contains organic citrus. I am a big believer in using a supplement wash. I feel like it really gets the grit and the fine dirt on both my vegetables and fruits. It’s pretty inexpensive and I highly suggest trying it out!

In my family, the more garlic the better. We even have a shaker of garlic powder next to our salt and pepper. So, this may be too garlic-y for the common man. But as the following meme suggests, cater to what you like!

It is true though, food brings us together! So enjoy this recipe and show a little love for your mom today.

Garlic Roasted Broccoli

Yield: 4 servings

Prep Time: 5 minutes or less

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 heads of broccoli
• 6 cloves of minced garlic (which is 1 head of regular size garlic)
• 1 ½ Tbs extra virgin olive oil (or substitute for other oils, grapeseed, canola, etc.)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Chop off broccoli stalks and cut the remaining broccoli into florets.
2. Mince garlic
3. Combine broccoli florets with the minced garlic and add the oil. Toss to coat and spread onto a sheet pan. Don’t worry about greasing the pan, the broccoli will have enough oil to not stick to the pan.
4. Roast in the oven for about 20 minutes. Until you smell the aroma of garlic and see that the edges of the broccoli become crispy, like a char. If your oven is finicky like mine, you may want to turn your pan around halfway through. My oven runs hot so my broccoli only took 16 minutes. If you are making this for the first time, monitor the broccoli after about 15 minutes, just to make sure you don’t burn them.
5. Take out of oven and don’t forget to scrape the garlic off the pan!
