ROASTED BROCCOLI W LEMON GARLIC & TOASTED PINE NUTS
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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
- In a large bowl, toss the broccoli with the oil and salt and pepper to taste.
- Arrange the florets in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast, turning once, for 12 minutes, or until just tender.
- 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.
- Place the broccoli in a serving bowl, pour the lemon butter over it and toss to coat.
- Scatter the toasted pine nuts over the top.
Tips:
- Choose the right broccoli: Look for broccoli with tightly closed florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilted florets.
- Cut the broccoli into even-sized florets: This will help them cook evenly. If the florets are too large, they may not cook through properly.
- Toss the broccoli with olive oil, salt, and pepper: This will help the broccoli to brown and caramelize in the oven.
- Roast the broccoli at a high temperature: This will help to create those nice charred bits that add flavor. Aim for a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
- Roast the broccoli until it is tender-crisp: You don't want the broccoli to be too soft, or it will lose its texture. About 10-12 minutes in the oven should do it.
- Make the lemon-garlic butter while the broccoli is roasting: This will give the butter time to infuse with the flavors of the lemon and garlic. Butter should be melted and foamy.
- Toss the roasted broccoli with the lemon-garlic butter: This will coat the broccoli in a delicious, flavorful sauce.
- Serve the roasted broccoli immediately: It's best when it's hot and fresh out of the oven.
Conclusion:
Roasted broccoli with lemon-garlic butter is a simple but delicious side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it's also a healthy and flavorful option. The lemon-garlic butter adds a bright and tangy flavor to the broccoli, making it a perfect accompaniment to grilled chicken, fish, or steak. Next time you're looking for a quick and easy side dish, give roasted broccoli with lemon-garlic butter a try. You won't be disappointed!
