  • 1 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 12 oz Broccoli

  1. Preheat oven to 375 ºF.  Cut lime into equal sized wedges; set aside.  Peel and finely chop ginger; set aside.  Remove the stems from the cilantro leaves and discard. Rough chop cilantro leaves; set aside.  Remove the stems from ONLY 1 teaspoon of the mint leaves and discard stems. Finely chop mint leaves; set aside.
