Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g broccoli florets
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 pieces chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 2 tbsp pine nuts
- 0.5 tsp sea salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and thoroughly dry the broccoli florets. Cut them into bite-sized pieces if they are too large.
In a small food processor or blender, add the garlic cloves and chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Pulse until a smooth paste forms.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli with olive oil, the garlic-chipotle paste, sea salt, and black pepper. Toss well to evenly coat the florets.
Spread the seasoned broccoli in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, sprinkle the pine nuts over the broccoli and return the tray to the oven.
Continue roasting for an additional 5 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender-crisp and slightly charred, and the pine nuts are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle the lemon juice over the roasted broccoli.
Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm as a side dish or light entree.
