Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 to 5 pounds broccoli
4 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
Good olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons julienned fresh basil leaves (about 12 leaves)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Cut the broccoli florets from the thick stalks, leaving an inch or two of stalk attached to the florets, discarding the rest of the stalks. Cut the larger pieces through the base of the head with a small knife, pulling the florets apart. You should have about 8 cups of florets. Place the broccoli florets on a sheet pan large enough to hold them in a single layer. Toss the garlic on the broccoli and drizzle with 5 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until crisp-tender and the tips of some of the florets are browned.
  • Remove the broccoli from the oven and immediately toss with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, the lemon zest, lemon juice, pine nuts, Parmesan, and basil. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli crowns that are deep green in color and have tightly closed florets. Avoid crowns that are yellowing or have brown spots.
  • Roast the broccoli at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the florets and give them a slightly crispy exterior. Aim for a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
  • Use a good quality Parmesan cheese: The Parmesan cheese is what gives this dish its signature flavor, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for a cheese that is aged for at least 12 months.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the broccoli, make sure to spread the florets out in a single layer on the pan. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Roast the broccoli until it is tender-crisp: You want the broccoli to be tender, but still have a little bit of crunch to it. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the florets, but it will typically take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve the broccoli immediately: Roasted broccoli is best served hot out of the oven. You can garnish it with additional Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, or lemon zest.

Conclusion:

This roasted broccoli with Parmesan cheese is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's healthy, flavorful, and easy to make. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give this recipe a try!
