Roasted Broccoli and White Beans

serves 2-3

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for pan
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 4-5 cups broccoli florets
• 1 15 oz. can white beans, rinsed and drained
• a heavy pinch red pepper flakes
• juice of 1 lemon, plus a few slices to roast
• kosher salt + fresh cracked pepper
• freshly grated Parmesan

Preheat oven to 400F.

Drizzle a baking sheet lightly with olive oil, set aside.

Mix olive oil, garlic and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Toss broccoli in garlic oil mixture to coat, followed by white beans (be careful not break up white beans with heavy handling). Place mixture on prepared baking sheet, nestling a few lemon slices in the mix. Season with salt & fresh cracked pepper and roast in oven, tossing occasionally for about 15-20 minutes. When beans and broccoli begin to char, top with a heavy dose of Parmesan cheese, turn the oven to BROIL and cook for 2 minutes, or until cheese is melted and starting to bubble.

Remove from oven, squeeze fresh lemon on top to taste. Serve with grated Parmesan and a poached egg if you fancy.
