Pecan-Toasted Broccoli
- 2 lbs broccoli florets
- 12 cup olive oil
- 1 12 teaspoons salt
- 12 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (lemon fine too)
- 34 cup raw pecans, toasted
- 34 cup grated parmesan cheese (not the powdered stuff, please) or 34 cup romano cheese (not the powdered stuff, please)
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Put the broccoli florets in a large bowl.
- Pour the olive oil, salt and pepper in, and mix well, til the florets are lightly coated with oil and you can taste a little bit of the salt and pepper on the florets.
- You might need to adjust quantities to taste.
- Then, spread the florets evenly on a large baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the broccoli are partly browned and the outsides are slightly crispy.
- Meanwhile, toast the pecans in a toaster oven for 5-10 min on the toast setting.
- When the broccoli is ready, take it out and let it cool 5 minutes, and then toss it with the toasted pecans, the parmesan cheese, the lime juice, and a little drizzle more of the olive oil.
- Toss and serve warm.
