1 large head broccoli (1 to 1 1/2 lbs) sliced lengthwise into long pieces
3 T olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 T pine nuts
1 small shallot, minced
1 T lemon juice
2 T olive oil
Grated lemon zest

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350. Spread the broccoli in a shallow roasting pan, toss it with 3 T olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Roast for about 40 minutes, tossing halfway through until the broccoli is tender and brown. In a small dry skillet, toast the pine nuts over medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they darken a shade or two and are fragrant. Shake the pan to prevent them from burning. Remove from heat and let cool. Whisk together the shallot, lemon juice, and 1/2 teas of salt, stirring until the salt dissolves in the lemon juice. Whisk in the 2 T olive oil. Transfer the broccoli to a serving platter and drizzle the lemon vinaigrette over it. Scatter the pine nuts over the broccoli.
