on May 09, 2016, Updated Sep 15, 2021 3 Comments I love simple side dish recipe that I can serve with practically anything from chicken to beef or even pasta. And this broccolini recipe is one that I can depend on! Thankfully, it couldn’t be much simpler! You practically just toss it all onto a baking sheet and roast. For years though, my broccolini was still a little tough when I’d serve it and not one of our favorites. Then, I realized that I needed to give it just a little bit of help to soften up before I roasted it. Here’s what I do. I arrange my broccolini onto my rimmed baking sheet and then drizzle with olive oil. Then, I add a good sprinkle of kosher salt and a few cranks from the pepper grinder to the top of the broccolini. Here comes the step that makes for tender, yet not mushy broccolini. I cover the pan well with foil and bake for about 10 minutes. This lets broccolini more tender. Then, I take the foil off of the baking sheet and turn up the temperature to the oven. Doing so roasts the broccolini and gives it a delicious flavor. Once the broccolini is roasted throughout, I remove it from the oven and top it with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. You can skip the Parmesan cheese if you prefer, but oh my goodness is it delicious! Here’s my Roasted Broccolini recipe. I hope you love it as much as we do! Enjoy!Robyn xo
