Pesto Roasted Broccoli Florets

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 large head broccoli cut into 1-1/2-inch florets
  • 1/4 cup homemade pesto
  • 1/4 cup pomegranate arils
  • 2 Tbsps pine nuts
  • sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees f. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine your broccoli with your pesto sauce.
  • Lightly season with sea salt and ground pepper to taste and using your hands thoroughly toss until well coated.
  • Immediately transfer to the prepared baking sheet and roast for 15-18 minutes, turning occasionally until broccoli and stems are tender-crisp.
  • While your broccoli is roasting heat a heavy skillet over low heat, add in your pine nuts, and allow to toast for just 30-45 seconds, tossing frequently in the pan to prevent them from burning.
  • Once golden brown, immediately transfer them to a plate.
  • Place your roasted pesto broccoli in a serving bowl and sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and your pomegranate arils.
  • Enjoy!
