Ingredients
- 400 grams Tenderstem broccoli
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- few good grinds of black pepper
- 2 tablespoons pine nuts
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan or grana padano
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220℃/425℉/gas mark 7. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and dry the broccoli. Press the washed broccoli between sheets of kitchen paper to dry it thoroughly.
- Add the broccoli to a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Using your hands, toss the broccoli through the oil and spices until all the pieces are well covered.
- Arrange the pieces of broccoli onto the baking sheet so that they do not overlap and there is enough space between each piece to allow even roasting.
- Roast for 12-15 minutes, depending on how well you want it cooked. We prefer ours not too soft, so we only roast it for 12 minutes.
- In the meantime, toast the pine nuts in a pan until they are a light golden brown.
- When the broccoli is done, scatter over the toasted pine nuts. Grate over the parmesan and serve immediately.

Notes
- Make sure to space out the tenderstem broccoli on the baking tray. This ensures they cook evenly and get crispy, rather than steaming each other.
