Roasted Broccoli with Parmesan Cheese and Pine Nuts is the perfect side dish for any dinner.

I have to admit broccoli is one of those vegetables that I have learned to eat in my adult years.    I was not a big vegetable eater as a kid and basically the only vegetable I would eat was green beans out of a can!

When my kids were young we had a rule that there had to be something green on your plate and you had to eat it!  For my second son that was a bit more of a challenge than with the other kids as he decided he didn’t like anything green – except broccoli.  So we had a lot of broccoli!!  I discovered if I covered it in cheese he would eat it.  Roasted Broccoli with parmesan and pine nuts is the adult version of covering your broccoli with cheese.

Toast the Pine Nuts to Bring out the Flavor

To begin, I start by toasting my own pine nuts  Pine nuts are expensive, so you do not want to burn them.  I buy mine in the bulk section of my grocery store and toast them in the microwave.  I just place them on a plate and microwave them for about three minutes, or  until they begin to turn golden brown.  Stir them once through the process so they don’t burn.

How to Roast Broccoli

To make roasted broccoli, just place cut up broccoli on a cookie sheet and drizzle with olive oil.  Mix together to coat evenly.  Then Sprinkle with salt.

Then, sprinkle with some fresh minced garlic and stir to distribute.

Place in the oven at 425 degrees for 20 -25 minutes.  Stir to turn once half way through time.  Broccoli should be tender crisp and the florets will begin to brown.

After it is roasted sprinkle it with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and pine nuts.  Also give it a squeeze of lemon juice too!

This roasted broccoli would be a perfect addition to your Easter dinner or any dinner.  I think we have had it at least once a week for the past couple of months!

    Would this work for flash-frozen broccoli?

      Cindy – not sure how it would work. It might just be a little softer but worth a try!
      I have only ever used fresh broccoli. Let me know if you give it a try.

    Leigh Anne, this looks absolutely delicious. It is the kind of food I actually EAT! I have not yet ventured to add pinenuts to this dish. I just use lemon and oil, but I shall try it! Thank you so much for joining our linky party the the Fine Craft Guild. A new party opens again today and look forward to seeing you again at the party.
