Ingredients
Broccoli
- 6 broccoli heads stalks removed
- ¼ cup avocado oil
- 1 lemon zested and juiced
- ¾ tsp. garlic powder
- ½ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. pepper
- ¼ cup slivered almonds
Balsamic Reduction
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. coconut sugar
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease a sheet pan with avocado oil and set aside.
-
In large mixing bowl, toss together broccoli florets, avocado oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
-
Spread out broccoli on sheet pan and bake 20 minutes.
-
Remove broccoli from oven and stir. Sprinkle on almonds and bake for 10 more minutes.
-
Meanwhile, prepare balsamic reduction. In small saucepan, combined balsamic vinegar and coconut sugar over medium heat. Bring to simmer, reduce heat to low and continue to simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until liquid is reduced by half. Stir occasionally.
-
Drizzle balsamic glaze over broccoli and serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
- To know if the balsamic reduction is complete, dip a spoon into the mixture. If the spoon remains lightly coated with sauce once removed, the reduction is complete.
- The reduction will begin to harden once removed from the heat. So, prepare the reduction right before the broccoli is done baking. If it hardens, it can be reheated on the stove over low heat until desired consistency is reached.
