Mean Chef's Roasted Broccoli With Lemon Garlic Butter and Toasted Pine Nuts

Step 1

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.
