Ingredients

• 2 pounds Broccoli
• 4 whole Garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 whole Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1.5 ounces Parmesan cheese
• 3 tablespoons Pine nuts
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Cut the broccoli into florets, making sure to keep them roughly the same size for even roasting.

Step 3

Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Spread the broccoli florets on a large baking sheet and sprinkle the garlic slices on top.

Step 5

Drizzle the broccoli and garlic with olive oil, then season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss everything together to coat evenly.

Step 6

Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the broccoli halfway through, until tender and slightly browned.

Step 7

While the broccoli roasts, toast the pine nuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Set aside.

Step 8

Once the roasted broccoli is out of the oven, transfer it to a serving dish.

Step 9

Sprinkle the broccoli with lemon zest and freshly squeezed lemon juice.

Step 10

Grate the Parmesan cheese over the broccoli, followed by the toasted pine nuts and freshly chopped basil leaves.

Step 11

Toss gently and serve warm as a delicious side dish.
