Ingredients:

16 oz broccoli
450g
1/4 cup olive oil
60g
2 tbsp lemon juice
10g
2 tsp mustard
10g
1 cup hazelnuts
120g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for roasting the broccoli.
2. Prepare the Broccoli:
- Wash the broccoli thoroughly and pat dry.
- Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets.

3. Roast the Broccoli:
- Spread the broccoli florets on a baking sheet.
- Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and toss to coat the broccoli evenly.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and slightly browned.
4. Prepare the Hazelnuts:
- While the broccoli is roasting, if the hazelnuts are not already toasted, spread them on a separate baking sheet and place them in the oven for about 5-10 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and aromatic.
- Once toasted, let them cool slightly, then roughly chop the hazelnuts.
5. Make the Lemon Vinaigrette:
- In a small bowl, combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 2 teaspoons mustard.
- Whisk the mixture until it's well combined. Add salt and pepper to taste.
6. Assemble the Dish:
- Once the broccoli is roasted, remove it from the oven and place it in a large serving bowl.
- Pour the lemon vinaigrette over the broccoli and toss to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle the chopped hazelnuts over the top of the broccoli.
7. Serve:
- Serve immediately while the broccoli is still warm. Enjoy as a side dish or a light main course!

Tips:

- For extra crispiness, make sure to dry the broccoli thoroughly before roasting.

- Toast the hazelnuts beforehand to enhance their flavor.

- Use fresh lemon juice for the vinaigrette for a more vibrant taste.

- Adjust the mustard quantity to your taste if you prefer a milder or stronger flavor.

- Spread the broccoli out in a single layer on the roasting pan to ensure even cooking.

This roasted broccoli with lemon vinaigrette is a simple yet flavorful dish that combines fresh ingredients with bold flavors. It's perfect as a side dish for your weeknight dinners or as a light addition to a larger meal. Enjoy the combination of tender roasted broccoli, a tangy vinaigrette, and crunchy hazelnuts in every bite!
