Loved this easy to make recipe! I had everything in the house and it was so fast to get onto the table. I had some shredded Parmesan and it was perfect on this!

Excellent broccoli dish! I did make a few tweaks. Out of personal preference used double the garlic and increased the lemon zest. I had a bottle of Meyer lemon olive oil, which made it even tastier. We like our broccoli only slightly tender, so reduced the microwave time to 3 minutes. And added the lemon zest with the lemon juice at the end, so it would be more flavorful. When I first served it, I forgot the parmesan and it was excellent. But adding the parm took it to the next level. We'll most definitely be having this again!

We both loved the flavor of this recipe...that makes this deserving of the 5 stars...I cooked it for 4 minutes because I like a bit of a bite to my broccoli...I thought it was over cooked...the hubby who doesn't care for broccoli loved it because it was nice and soft...which I never make...made this for "The Joy of Vegetables" tags game...served it with a grille chile pork chops and campfire potatoes...yum...

I was so excited to see the citrus flavored olive oil in this recipe! Looked forward to using my gift from my daughter, and this did not disappoint. The lemon zest put it over the top. So quick and easy to make too! This will be a repeat recipe at my house.....we eat a lot of broccoli.
