Parmesan Broccoli with Pine Nuts
Description
This recipe calls for chopping broccoli into florets and stems, then coating them in olive oil and seasoning. Pine nuts and Parmesan are sprinkled on top before roasting at a high temperature until the cheese melts and turns golden, while the pine nuts lightly toast. The oven’s dry heat crisps the topping and softens the broccoli beneath, maintaining a tender but firm texture.
This dish can be enjoyed warm as a side to various meals. It offers a good combination of crunchy, cheesy, and vegetal textures without requiring complex preparation. Its nutty finish from pine nuts and savory saltiness from Parmesan make it distinct.
Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator up to one week. Reheating in the microwave preserves warmth and texture. The recipe serves approximately one pound of broccoli but can be scaled for larger groups.
