Spring is here!! For me, spring means green, light recipes, outdoor eating and tangy eats. I get so excited about al the fresh goodness that comes my way this time of the year. Often times the recipes I’m enjoying in the kitchen are soaked in citrus. Give me the limes, lemons, blood oranges, tangelos. I want it all. I didn’t grow up with tons of citrus+ veggie parties and that’s ok. I learned to experiment on my own and in doing so, Lemony Roasted Broccoli became a thing.
I happened to learn about the pink lemon a while ago and let me tell you! You want to try it. Not only does the pink lemon look different from classic lemons, it also has a different flavor. It is slightly sweeter than the classic lemon and has a tiny hint of grapefruit. Which is why it was perfect for my Lemony Roasted Broccoli recipe. Limoneria is a producer of such fine lemons. Check out your local grocer to find them!
Find the details for this delightful dish below. Lemony Roasted Broccoli is easy to make and will keep your crowd coming back for more. Serve it up with grilled protein and your favorite grain. If this recipe doesn’t scream “Spring!” I don’t know what does!
