This crispy roast tenderstem broccoli with parmesan and pine nut crumb is a simple yet elegant side dish, packed with crunch and savoury flavour. Perfect for any meal!

David made it for the first time as a side to go with our Valentine's meal back in 2022.   He also made our chilli and fennel roast chicken, with an optional gravy and a second side of garlic and rosemary hasselback potatoes.  The 3 recipes went so well together... absolutely delicious!

The end result is tender and crispy broccoli with a cheesy crunchy nutty crumb.   It's a delicious side to enjoy with chicken, fish, pork and steak!

Tips

  • 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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I use a head of broccoli instead of tenderstem? 

Yes - simply cut the head of broccoli into smaller florets to ensure even roasting. 

How do I prevent the broccoli from becoming soggy? 

Ensure the broccoli is completely dry before roasting, and avoid overcrowding the tray so it can crisp up properly. 

Can I make this dish ahead of time? 

Yes - roast the broccoli and keep it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness. 

What can I serve this dish with? 

It pairs well with grilled meats, pasta dishes, or as part of a festive dinner spread. 

Can I use a different type of nut? 

Yes - walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts would work well as substitutes for pine nuts.
