Do you have kids that hate to eat their Broccoli? They try this jazzed up recipe! I happen to be one of the lucky ones who could eat cruciferous veggies anytime! But this easy lemony, garlicky flavor sure adds some zip.

My favorite way to make broccoli. I’ve never added lemon though, will be trying it though.
I can smell the brocolli and garlic already! I love garlic and this combo is a winning recipe! Just don’t kiss someone afterwards.
Broccoli is one of my favorite side dishes. This looks incredibly yummy to me. Thanks for sharing!
I am planning to try this recipe soon, my wife loves broccoli! [email protected]
Around my house we all love broccoli.We also like it with velvetta cheese.
This sounds so good and very simple. We love broccoli in my family especially my daughter.
How does raw garlic fit broccoli? Just curious 🙂
This looks delicious and I like broccoli, I can’t wait to give this a try. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Sounds yummy and delicious.
This looks DELISH!
My boys hate broccoli. Maybe I could change their minds with this yummy idea!
Yummy!
I love garlic roasted broccoli!
My whole family loves broccoli, so this recipe looks amazing!
Another variation on this would be garlic edamame. Also, one could probably puree the garlic broccoli with some other veggies and cheese for some hearty soup!
I am always looking for broccoli recipes and this one sounds wonderful and easy to make. I can’t wait to try it. I love that I already have all the ingredients here.
It does make it more appealing with ingredients on hand!
This looks so good. I make something similar sans the lemon peel, the next time I make mine it I’m going to add the lemon peel and use minced garlic because it looks so good mixed with the broccoli.
Lisa share the recipe you use with us! Always love new twists with Broccoli!
I like broccoli and garlic so this recipe sounds really nice. I’ve been meaning to look for broccoli recipes and I’ll try this soon.

Garlic and broccoli are two of my favorite foods. I want to try this recipe!
Let me know how you like it Natalie!
It is true that there is something mellowing about garlic added to broccoli, it must be a chemical reaction or something. Sure is tasty though.
Hi Margot C. Never thought of it as mellowing. To me garlic makes it spicier and yummy 🙂

My daughter loves broccoli, but in order to get my son and myself to eat it, I usually have to sneak it into our food. I do love garlic though, so this might be worth a try. T\
Kim there are just some veggies people can’t hack whether it’s texture or flavor.

This sounds really good. I usually just steam broccoli with some salt-free seasoning. The lemon with the garlic sounds really fresh. I’m going to a Woman’s Retreat this weekend and I think that I’ll bring the ingredients to try this.
