Recipe Introduction


Toast the pine nuts in advance and be sure to buy pretrimmed broccoli florets as ways of cutting down on last-minute preparation time.


List of Ingredients




4 tablespoons pine nuts
2 pounds broccoli florets
1/3 cup olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice


Recipe



1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread 4 tablespoons pine nuts evenly on baking sheet and toast, stirring, 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden. Remove and reserve.
2 Increase oven to 500 degrees F. In large bowl, toss 2 pounds broccoli florets with 1/3 cup olive oil and salt and pepper. On baking sheet, arrange florets in single layer and roast, turning once, 12 minutes, until just tender.
3 Meanwhile, in small saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic and 1 teaspoon lemon zest and heat, stirring, about 1 minute. Let cool slightly and stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
4 Transfer florets to serving bowl, pour butter mixture over them, and toss. Scatter toasted pine nuts on top and serve.
