Think of your broiler as a grill that you can use in the winter to give veggies a hint of char and sweetness. This is the fastest way to make broccoli into a winning taste sensation.

Ingredients

1 bunch broccoli
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
2 teaspoons lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Preheat the broiler on high.
Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets, then peel and chop the stems. Place on a large sheet pan. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toss to coat.
Spread the walnuts on a small baking sheet and place on the bottom rack of the oven while the broccoli cooks.
Broil the broccoli for 2 to 3 minutes at a time, turning the florets with tongs as they darken and crisp on the edges. This will take around 8 minutes. Remove from broiler and cool on a rack.
In a cup, stir the remaining olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper, and pour over the warm broccoli. Toss to coat.
Serve topped with walnuts and Parmesan.
