Ingredients

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)

Directions

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.

Broccoli does rock
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband, Tony, is not a lemon fan so I made the recipe without the zest and juice. This broccoli still turned out so fab!... I will definitely be making this recipe again. Thank you, Ina!Read more

Good stuff
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I just made this for the first time tonight and used broccolini instead of broccoli. The cooking time was a little shorter... (I like firm veggies), but it was great. Ina rules!Read more

Best broccoli ever!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe is referred to as "Tasty Broccoli" in my household. Ever since finding it, my fiance and I have made at least... once a week. I agree with the other reviews and roast the broccoli at 400*F for about 18 minutes instead of the given directions. This is an absolutely fantastic recipe!Read more
