Best Broccoli of Your Life

I'm always searching for different ways to prepare our favorite veggies. We're really big broccoli fans. All of us would eat just plain old broccoli on end! I've also been on a lemon + parmesan + basil kick lately, so this was perfect for my cravings. I really loved them roasted - the almonds were an amazing layer of texture to add to our favorite veggie!
