- 1⁄4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1⁄2 teaspoon saffron thread, lightly crumbled

Made this for a snack to eat while watching football, and we really enjoyed it. Our lemon was very large so I only used 1/4 of it. The lemon flavor still came through. Really loved the dusting of kosher salt at the end....especially since I ate it as a snack! Like saffron popcorn!! Thanks for sharing. Made for Football Pool Summer 2014 at yuku. -
This was a few more steps than just roasting, but worth it! I used some broccoli too and it turned out nice. I enjoyed the lemon, it gave an extra touch. Thanks!
