Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 to 5 pounds broccoli
4 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
Good olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons julienned fresh basil leaves (about 12 leaves)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Cut the broccoli florets from the thick stalks, leaving an inch or two of stalk attached to the florets, discarding the rest of the stalks. Cut the larger pieces through the base of the head with a small knife, pulling the florets apart. You should have about 8 cups of florets. Place the broccoli florets on a sheet pan large enough to hold them in a single layer. Toss the garlic on the broccoli and drizzle with 5 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until crisp-tender and the tips of some of the florets are browned.
  • Remove the broccoli from the oven and immediately toss with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, the lemon zest, lemon juice, pine nuts, Parmesan, and basil. Serve hot.

LASAGNA WITH ROASTED BROCCOLI



Lasagna With Roasted Broccoli image

The broccoli part of this recipe is adapted from Molly Stevens' Blasted Broccoli in her wonderful book "All About Roasting."

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, casseroles, main course

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 pounds broccoli, crowns only
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
8 ounces ricotta cheese
1 egg
2 tablespoons water
Pinch of cinnamon
2 anchovy fillets, rinsed (optional)
3 cups marinara sauce, preferably homemade from fresh or canned tomatoes
7 to 8 ounces no-boil lasagna
4 ounces (1 cup) freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice the broccoli crowns 1/3 inch thick, letting the florets on the edges fall off. Peel any large pieces of stem by gently pulling away the thick skin, then toss the slices and the unattached florets with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Place on the baking sheet in an even layer. Roast, stirring and flipping the large slices over (tongs are a good tool for this) after 8 minutes, until the broccoli is tender when pierced with a knife and the tops are nicely browned, about 15 minutes total. Remove from the oven and set aside. Turn the oven down to 350 degrees.
  • Blend the ricotta cheese with the egg, water, cinnamon, salt and pepper.
  • Chop the anchovies and stir into the tomato sauce. Oil a rectangular baking dish and spread a spoonful of tomato sauce over the bottom. Top with a layer of lasagna noodles. Spoon a thin layer of the ricotta mixture over the noodles. Top with a layer of broccoli, then a layer of tomato sauce and a layer of Parmesan. Repeat the layers until the ingredients are used up, ending with a layer of lasagna noodles topped with tomato sauce and Parmesan.
  • Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and place in the oven. Bake 40 minutes, until the noodles are tender and the mixture is bubbling. Uncover and, if you wish, bake another 10 minutes, until the top begins to brown. Remove from the heat and allow to sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/4 pounds broccoli crowns, cut into florets (about 8 cups)
3 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 garlic cloves, minced
Large pinch of dried crushed red pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss broccoli and 3 tablespoons oil in large bowl to coat. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Transfer to rimmed baking sheet. Roast 15 minutes. Stir remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil, garlic, and red pepper in small bowl. Drizzle garlic mixture over broccoli; toss to coat. Roast until broccoli is beginning to brown, about 8 minutes longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Broccoli: Select broccoli crowns that are deep green in color, tightly closed florets, and no signs of wilting or yellowing.
  • Prepare Broccoli Properly: Wash the broccoli thoroughly under cold running water. Cut the florets into bite-sized pieces and discard the tough stems.
  • Season Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! A blend of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper is a classic combination that works well with roasted broccoli.
  • Use High Heat: High heat is key to achieving perfectly roasted broccoli. Preheat your oven or air fryer to the highest temperature recommended in the recipe.
  • Roast Until Tender-Crisp: Keep a close eye on the broccoli as it roasts. Aim for tender-crisp florets that are slightly charred around the edges.
  • Serve Immediately: Roasted broccoli is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven or air fryer. Serve it as a side dish or as a healthy snack.

Conclusion:

Roasted broccoli is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish, appetizer, or even as a main course. With its vibrant color, slightly charred exterior, and tender-crisp texture, roasted broccoli is a crowd-pleaser that is sure to impress.
