BROCCOLI WITH TOASTED GARLIC AND HAZELNUTS

I have always liked plain veggies, but now I love them with all these added healthy ingredients. This dish is amazing - I didn't even want to share it with my husband. As with most recipes, I cut this one in half.

Total Time: 15 minutes
Serves: 8

1/2 cup hazelnuts
2 bunches broccoli (about 3 lbs), cut into
long florets
1/2 cup olive oil
6 cloves garlic, sliced thin
2 tbs fresh lemon juice
Salt and pepper

Heat oven to 375. Spread the hazelnuts on a
rimmed baking sheet and toast, tossing
occasionally, until fragrant, 5 to 6 minutes;
roughly chop

Meanwhile, fill a large pot with 1" water
and fit with a steamer basket. Bring to a
simmer. Place broccoli in steamer basket,
cover, and steam until tender, 4-5 mins.
Transfer to plate.

Meanwhile in a small saucepan, cook the
oil and garlic over low heat until the garlic
is just golden, 4-6 mins. Transfer to a small
bowl and stir in the hazelnuts, lemon juice,
and 1/2 tsp each of salt an pepper. Drizzle
over the broccoli.
