directions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F Wash the broccoli and dry it THOROUGHLY. (If it's still damp, it will not brown properly.).
  • Toss broccoli with olive oil, salt, pepper and sliced garlic. (You should not use an expensive extra-virgin oil in this step; all the volatiles that make it special will cook out.) Roast 20-25 min until crisp-tender, and the edges of the florets are beginning to brown. Shake the pan occasionally.
  • Add lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil (here is where you break out the high-quality super-flavorful stuff), pine nuts, Parmigiano and basil. Toss thoroughly and serve hot.

  1. Perfect, with lemon, garlic, parmesan and pine nuts! Super tasty!
     
  2. Super Yum! What an amazingly simple recipe with such a knockout taste!
     
  3. Delish! Halved the recipe - skipped the lemon zest and the pine nuts, just because. LOVE this! It was gobbled up and I will be making this again. I love the lemon juice and the unexpected fresh basil flavor.
     
  4. Yummy! We liked this.
     
  5. 4 pounds is a ton of broccoli, just be warned! This was delicious. Several requests to share the recipe.

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013. After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
