7 cloves garlic, minced

¼ cup olive oil

1 lemon, cut in half

Salt and pepper, to taste

Preheat oven to 425*. Place the broccoli in a 9.13 baking dish and sprinkle with the garlic. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the lemon cut side down in the dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, there will be some charred edges. Press lemon with tongs squeezing the roasted goodness all over the dish.
