Roasted Broccoli
Roasted broccoli knocks steamed broccoli right out of the water when it comes to flavor and texture!
Recipe Ingredients:
1 pound broccoli florets
2 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted* (or other nuts or seeds of your choice)
Cooking Directions:
1 – Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
2 – In a large bowl, toss the broccoli with the oil and salt and pepper to taste. Arrange the flowerets in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast, turning once, for 12 minutes, or until just tender.
3 – Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and lemon zest and heat, stirring, for about 1 minute. Let cool slightly and stir in the lemon juice.
4 – Place the roasted broccoli in a serving bowl, pour the lemon butter over it and toss to coat. Scatter the toasted pine nuts over the top.
Makes 6 servings.
*To toast pine nuts, place in small skillet. Cook over medium-high heat 1 to 3 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring constantly.
