- 320 g (11.3 oz) tenderstem broccoli ends trimmed (see Notes)
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- olive oil to drizzle
- 25 g (0.9 oz) lemon juice
For the crumb:
- 50 g (1.8 oz) panko breadcrumbs
- 20 g (0.7 oz) freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 15 g (0.5 oz) pine nuts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Heat the oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Place the broccoli in a single layer in a roasting tin, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and drizzle with some olive oil.
Roast in the oven for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the crumb ingredients well in a small bowl. After 10 minutes of cooking, remove the broccoli from the oven and sprinkle over the lemon juice. Then sprinkle over all of the crumb and return it to the oven to cook for a further 5 minutes, until the crumb is nicely golden. A delicious side to enjoy with chicken, fish, pork and steak!
- Broccoli – this recipe will also work well with a head of broccoli cut into florets.
- Vegan option - replace the parmesan with nutritional yeast or a plant-based parmesan alternative.
- Nut-free option - swap the pine nuts for sunflower seeds.
- Herbs and spices - try adding chilli flakes for heat or lemon zest for brightness.
- Cheese alternatives - try using crumbled feta or goat cheese instead of parmesan for a tangier flavour.
- This roast tenderstem broccoli with parmesan and pine nut crumb recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
