Recipe - Roasted Broccoli With Lemon Garlic Butter And Toasted Pine

1 pound Broccoli florets
2 tablespoon Olive oil
Salt and freshly ground
black pepper
2 tablespoon Unsalted butter
1 teaspoon Minced garlic
One half teaspoon Grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice; (up to 2)
2 tablespoon Pine nuts; toasted

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.

Yield: 4 servings
