Roasted broccoli florets

We had a barbecue last night even though it was raining and a bit windy. Luckily it wasn't too bad when the meat was actually on the barbecue. I was trying to think of what we could have with the garlic and herb lamb and realized we had quite a bit of broccoli in the fridge. Instead of just boiling or steaming it like usual I decided to roast it in the oven. With some salt, pepper and various spices; it turned out to be a perfect side dish for the lamb.

Ingredients

serves 2-3

1 large broccoli head

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp paprika powder

1 tsp garlic powder

½ tsp onion powder

½ tsp turmeric

salt and pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.

Cut the broccoli into smaller florets and place them on a large baking tray.

Mix together the oil, the spices and salt. Pour this over the broccoli and mix around. 

Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes or until it's soft and a little bit browned.
