Roasted broccoli with lemon garlic butter and toasted pine

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 pounds Broccoli florets
2 tablespoons Olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
1 teaspoon Minced garlic
½ teaspoon Grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice; (up to 2)
2 tablespoons Pine nuts; toasted

Directions

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.

Yield: 4 servings
