Ingredients
- 1 Head Romanesco (Broken Up Into 2 1/2 Cups Florets)
- 5 Tablespoons Olive Oil, Divided
- 4 Garlic Cloves, Minced
- 2 Teaspoons Fresh Lemon Zest
- Salt & Black Pepper
- 1/2 Teaspoon Red Chili Flakes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Place the florets in a bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
- Spread the florets across the baking sheet, then bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and fork tender.
- In a frying pan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat, then cook the garlic and chili flakes just until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes. (Do not brown the garlic as it will become bitter.)
- Stir the lemon zest into the hot oil.
- Toss the roasted florets in the spiced oil until mixed, then serve warm or at room temperature.
