Ingredients
- 1 pound broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 1 to 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 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.

I reccomend this recipe all the time. I've been making it for several years, it's the only way I serve broccoli now. My kids love it too. Recently my kids were at my mom's for dinner and she asked if they like broccoli, they said yes. But when she served them limp steamed broccoli with salad dressing they were so disappointed. They told her, you don't make it good like my mom. lol.
