Spicy Roasted Broccoli

Source: The Wednesday Chef

Ingredients:
1 medium head broccoli
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
Flaky salt to taste (I'm not that fancy and just used regular table salt)
Red pepper flakes to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander (I don't have ground coriander, so I just skipped this)
1/2 lemon (I happened to have half a lime in my fridge instead, so I subbed it for the lemon and it was great!)

Directions:
Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Cut the broccoli into bite-size florets. Toss with the olive oil, salt, red pepper flakes, cumin and coriander. Spread out on a sheet pan and put in the oven for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, take the pan out and toss the broccoli around. Put the pan back in the oven for 10 additional minutes.

Remove the pan from the oven and squeeze the lemon over the broccoli. Toss well and eat immediately.

Notes:
I saw this recipe yesterday and decided that this would be my dinner for one (and a half) while Gregg was gone to a conference overnight.  (I actually had a grilled cheese, too, but that's beside the point.)  I love broccoli but I've never roasted it before and this was quite delightful.  I'll be remembering this one for another time when broccoli is sitting lonely in my fridge.
