Have you encountered broccolini? It looks like broccoli rabe, or a baby version of broccoli, but in truth it is neither of those vegetables, but a hybrid developed out of Japan. Unlike broccoli rabe, broccolini is not at all bitter, and even though it looks like broccoli, it doesn’t taste like it, but is sweeter and nuttier.
It’s delicious! And like other members of the brassica family, broccolini is loaded with iron and vitamins.
How to you cook broccolini? You can steam it, sauté it, or do what we’ve done here, roast it in the oven. More tender than broccoli, it cooks faster, so it’s better to roast it at a higher temp (in our case under the broiler) for a short amount of time.
This recipe couldn’t be easier! Just toss the broccolini with garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper, and put it under the broiler for a few minutes.
