Here are some pictures from us cooking this recipe
As you can see, the main item here is still the broccoli, everything else just makes it a little bit better.
First, pre-heat your oven to 450 degrees. We start off by adding the broccoli, tomatoes, artichokes to a mixing bowl and tossing them with 1 tablespoon of olive oil to evenly coat. Next, transfer these veggies to a flat sheet pan and spread out evenly.
We cooked ours for 12 minutes. The broccoli just started to brown on the edges.
Meanwhile, in a glass style mixing bowl, combine the olives, capers, lemon zest, lemon juice, and oregano. Salt and pepper to taste.
You can see after 12 minutes in the oven the broccoli is just browned on the tips and the tomatoes are nice and softened. Transfer to a serving bowl and toss the olive mixture with the veggies to coat. Serve.
