Roasted broccoli topped with lemon juice is a quick and easy side dish that only requires 5 ingredients and is a simple addition to any meal. This recipe was made in a Panasonic CIO and appears on an episode of the Dinner Spinner TV Show on The CW!
I love simple dishes and this qualifies as simple. I love the bright flavor the lemon gives the broccoli but doesn't outshine the roasted flavor. Sometimes I need a reminder that simple is a show stopper and this one is.

This couldn't be easier! A great alternative to the plain, steamed broccoli. My kids are devouring this! I might suggest a little more oil and a little less salt (it was fine for my family's taste, but others may prefer less salt). This would be great on the side of chicken piccata.
This recipe is best as is, but one time I prepared this dish, I didn't realize I was out of lemon juice and the broccoli was already roasting! I subbed raw apple cider vinegar for lemon juice and was pleased that it still tasted great.
Prefer my vegetables roasted to steamed and I liked the idea of whisking together the oil, salt and pepper before tossing the broccoli in it. However, too salty! Will definitely use this technique again but will use maybe 1/4 tsp. salt.
How can you not like roasted broccoli? Even people who claim they hate broccoli would love it prepared this way! No more of the old school boiling your broccoli til it's mush! This has a nice tang from the lemon. Next time I will add some garlic to the mix.
I added half a teaspoon of garlic powder, and the next time I will definitely halve the amount of salt. Other than that, I enjoyed this recipe as written.
I'm never eating steamed broccoli again! I added a sliced clove of garlic to infuse the oil while prepping the rest of the meal, then coated the broccoli with the infused oil and garlic slices. Yummers!
Really easy and a big hit at Thanksgiving. I baked for 15 min at 350° on the top rack.
Delicious! Used a little too much salt since my heads were small. But this will become a regular!
It was really good I think from now on that’s only way I’ll make broccoli, baked 425 for about 10 and then put foil so the stems get softer for another 10 and it was perfect!
i loved it. though to get the broccoli nice and crispy, you'll have to keep the broccoli in the oven for 20 min. instead of ten
I cut the recipe in half. Turned out nice, great for a clean, crisp broccoli vs. the BF's favorite steamed broccoli!
An excellent way to make broccoli and a perfect side to so many main dishes. Much more flavorful than steamed or sauteed. The charred bits are to die for!
It was delicious...the spices completely changed the flavor of the broccoli....it was surprising.
I will definitely make this again! This is the best way to bring out the flavor of the broccoli.
Simple, easy, and healthy! I overcooked the broccoli a little but it was still great. Easy go to side. Will make again!
This quick and easy recipe is absolutely fantastic and even my kids ate it! They don't like steamed veggies and this left the broccoli still crunchy but soft and super tasty. It was unbelievably easy (I had it already cut up from the bag and oven was already on) and it is now my go-to for broccoli.
Delicious! However, I followed one of the reviews and covered with foil for 8 more minutes. It was too crunchy after just ten minutes uncovered. It was perfect and tender after the extra time. Then I squeezed two fresh lemon wedges on one dish and did not squeeze any lemon on the other. They were both delicious, with or without. The lemon adds some zest, but not necessary.
Made this broccoli recipe for a dinner party. Everyone thought it was good but I think I will use a little more oil and add some garlic next time. Very easy too make with not much fuss.
Phenomenal! Such simple ingredients and such simple preparation… who knew this would be so fantastic? I used frozen broccoli since I didn’t have fresh, and this was fabulous.
Added a few crushed cloves of garlic to give a little more flavor. Dressed up with walnuts, Parmesan and a hard boiled egg for a healthy dinner. Great!
This was fabulous. Added minced garlic because we LOVE garlic. This will go into our regular rotation.
So delicious and easy. I cook mine a little longer, but maybe that's just because I had large pieces.
This is a quick, health and delicious way to eat broccoli and is a great side dish. Simplicity at it's finest.

Amazingly delicious! It’s my new favorite broccoli recipe! I stuck to the recipe!
Such a flavorful recipe for such an easy to make dish. Roasting and adding the lemon juice makes this broccoli dish a keeper, even George H.W. Bush would like this.
I'm the only one in my home who doesn't like cheese sauce on my broccoli, and this was perfect!
This is the best recipe ever! Trying to eat healthy post heart bypass surgery. This was a winner. Thank you! BTW, I used 1/2 the salt and perfect.
I didn't add the lemon juice, but it was still delicious. I cut the ingredients in half for one head broccoli since I'm just cooking for myself.
tasty and will surely make it again. Broccoli has never tasted this welcoming.
Great dish! If you like rosemary, I also crumble 1/2 tsp of Rosemary prior to baking! It gives it a nice zing!
The generous amount of lemon juice really adds a tangy kick to the broccoli. This is one of those recipes to keep as a quick go-to for a fancy vegetable when you have company.
This recipe is just more proof that the most simple of ingredients can produce the best tasting recipes. The whole family LOVED this...a definite keeper~YUM, YUM, YUM!!!! Thanks for sharing. :)
A simple side dish. Roasted broccoli is brightened up by the addition of the lemon juice.
I really enjoy roasted broccoli. Add the lemon juice and what a nice burst of flavor. I will definitely make this again!
Just the recipe I was hoping to find, and the positive review comments sealed the deal! Even my husband likes this! I appreciate the directions given for preparing the broccoli because I like to use as much of it as possible. I knew I had no lemons but decided ahead of time to try the Roasted Garlic Seasoned Rice Vinegar I had on hand. Delicious and light! Will make this often. Thanks for a great recipe and the reviews!
We cut down a little on the oil, but the end result was very fine. We'll do it again soon.
Delicious and easy! Loved the idea of using the stem too. I used less olive oil and it took a bit longer to cook.
I prepared this exactly as written and it turned out pretty good except for the lemon juice. It gave the broccoli an odd taste. Next time I make it I will omit the lemon juice.
You can't go wrong with this combination! You can easily add 1-2 cloves of garlic to bump up the flavor but the lemon also gives the broccoli a nice tang.
