Health and fertility benefits of Lemon-Parmesan Roasted Broccoli

Broccoli is one of the non-starchy vegetables that has a very low glycemic index (GI), which is beneficial for reducing blood sugar levels. Broccoli is also a source of DIM (Diindolymethane). Diindolymethane is very effective in reducing the testosterone levels in the body, an action that would automatically curb male dominant features and regulate the estrogen levels in the system. Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to.

Ingredients

2 heads broccoli, cut into small florets
4 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for the pans
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 large cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 lemon, zested and juiced

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Meanwhile, toss the broccoli with 3 tablespoons olive oil and some salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet.
Bake until the broccoli is cooked through and starting to brown, about 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sage and cook, stirring, until they are fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl. When the broccoli is ready, add it to the bowl along with the Parmesan and lemon zest and juice, and gently toss. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately.
