This dish of roasted broccoli and tomatoes is tossed with bright Mediterranean ingredients just before serving.

Mediterranean Roasted Broccoli & Tomatoes

broccoli crowns,

grape tomatoes

olive oil

garlic,

salt

½ teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest

lemon juice

black olives, sliced

oregano

capers, rinsed (optional)

Toss broccoli, tomatoes, oil, garlic and salt in a large bowl until evenly coated. Spread in an even layer on a baking sheet. Bake until the broccoli begins to brown, 10 to 13 minutes.


Meanwhile, combine lemon zest and juice, olives, oregano and capers (if using) in a large bowl. Add the roasted vegetables; stir to combine. Serve warm.


Good, but needs work.
I enjoyed the roasted veggies.  However, I would double, or even triple, the recipe if you actually want to give a nice portioned side dish to FOUR people.  I split this dish with my mom for lunch and got maybe 1.5 c on my plate.  
I thought a tbsp of fresh squeezed lemon juice was too much; paired with the capers, I thought it was too tart.  Adding a little feta helps tone down the lemon juice.  Maybe next time I'll use 1-1.5 tsp of lemon and maybe a little more EVOO to toss it all together.  I used a whole small can of sliced black olives, but didn't really get any flavor out of them.  I think next time I'll use kalamata olives, since that seems more Mediterranean and maybe will add more depth of flavor to this recipe.
Pros: Loved the roasted veggies and garlic!
Cons: Too lemony for me.  Recipe doesn't make much.

Excellent!
I thought this was great!  I tossed in some feta just before serving - yummy!  I didn't have capers and used "plain" canned olives, but next time I would make it a point to get kalamata olives instead.  A keeper!
Pros: Quick, simple

Unfortunately, my family didn't care for it at dinner last night. I thought it was excellent. I tried the leftovers folded into some eggs this morning for breakfast and it was so delicious! From now on I'll make it for a few days' worth of healthy scrambles and omelets! :)'




Excellent. Quick and easy dish with plenty of flavor. I've also added cauliflower &amp; fresh green beans to the broccoli and served it with a slice of the Kneadless Black Olive &amp; Herb Yeast Loaf (another great EatingWell recipe).




Nice change for broccoli! Family loved it!
