Roasted Broccoli, Red Pepper and Onion

shared by Patty H. (This is very similar to the yummy broccoli recipe Billi shared with us previously. The addition of the red pepper and onion gave it a nice taste and it looks beautiful. Hope you enjoy it. )

Ingredients:
6 cups bit-size broccoli florets with short stems
1 medium red bell pepper, cut vertically into 1/2 inch strips
1 medium purple onion, sliced vertically into 1/4 inch stripps (about 1 cup)
4 garlic cloves, sliced (since I don't have "real" garlic, I substituted minced garlic flakes)
1 1/4 tsp. dried Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp. coarse salt
1/8 tsp. coarse ground black pepper (I used 1/4 tsp. because we like it "peppery")
3 T. extra-virgin olive oil
1 T. lemon juice

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 425.
2. In a large bowl, combine broccoli, red pepper, onion and garlic.
3. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
4. Drizzle oil over top and mix with a large spoon.
5. Place vegetables in a shallow baking pan and bake 20 minutes, mixing once (I didn't do this) until broccoli is browned in spots and tender.
6. Sprinkle with lemon juice and serve.
