ROASTED BROCCOLI W LEMON GARLIC & TOASTED PINE NUTS

Roasted Broccoli W Lemon Garlic & Toasted Pine Nuts image

I adopted this recipe when another chef left the site. The text from my original review stated, "I just made this for my lunch. Yum! I had a smaller portion of broccoli, and therefore downsized the recipe. The flavors are awesome together. I used all fresh ingredients (no bottled lemon juice here!). Since I was cooking only for myself, I prepared the lemon garlic butter in a small saute pan and then tossed the broccoli in that pan to coat it. (No need to dirty a serving dish for just me!) I can't wait to prepare this for others. The lemon garlic butter lends this to be a great side for fish...I am thinking grilled salmon would be great." I have since prepared this as a side dish for a multitude of meals. I love the broccoli, lemon, garlic combo.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 pkg (1.5#) broccoli florets, frozen
3 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp butter
2 tsp minced garlic
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp lemon zest
salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp pine nuts

Steps:

1. In a large bowl, mix together broccoli, oil, butter, garlic, lemon juice, zest, and salt and pepper until well blended.
2. Place mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet sprayed lightly with cooking oil.
3. Bake in a preheated 450-degree oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking time.
4. Garnish with pine nuts and serve.

Tips:

Choose the right broccoli: For the best results, select broccoli crowns that are deep green in color and have tightly closed florets. Avoid crowns that are yellowing or have loose florets, as these signs indicate that the broccoli is past its prime.
Roast the broccoli at a high temperature: Roasting the broccoli at a high temperature (425°F or 220°C) will help to caramelize the florets and give them a slightly charred flavor. This will also help to bring out the natural sweetness of the broccoli.
Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a great choice for roasting broccoli because it has a high smoke point and a mild flavor that won't overpower the broccoli. You can also use other types of oil, such as avocado oil or grapeseed oil, if you prefer.
Season the broccoli well: Before roasting, season the broccoli with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder, to taste.
Roast the broccoli until it is tender-crisp: The broccoli is done roasting when it is tender-crisp, with slightly charred florets. This will usually take about 15-20 minutes, but the cooking time may vary depending on the size of the florets.

Conclusion:

Roasted garlic lemon broccoli is a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. It is a healthy and flavorful way to get your daily dose of vegetables. The roasted garlic and lemon add a bright and tangy flavor to the broccoli, while the Parmesan cheese adds a touch of richness. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
