Ingredients

• 1 large bunch of broccoli, cut into bite-size florets with short stems
• 1 large red onion, thickly sliced
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt or to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon (slow-roasted) tomato paste (regular tomato paste works too!)

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and oil lightly.

9. Remove from oven and mix in chopped basil.
10. Serve immediately over quinoa or brown basmati rice, topped with freshly ground black pepper.
