Best 6 Broccoli Hazelnut Bake Recipes

BROCCOLI BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a wide, deep cast iron (or other ovenproof) skillet. Once melted, pour the butter into a small mixing bowl, then combine with the Panko breadcrumbs and the Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet. Sprinkle the white whole wheat flour over the top, then whisk constantly for 1 minute, until the butter smells fragrant and the flour turns slightly golden. Very slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly, adding a little at a time so that you break up the clumps of flour as you go. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens, about 3 minutes, allowing the mixture to bubble. Stir in the garlic powder, salt, mustard, black pepper, and cayenne (if using). Remove the skillet from the heat, then stir in the cheddar until smooth.
• Add the reserved broccoli, stir to coat, then pat the broccoli into an even layer in the skillet. (Alternatively, if you feel your skillet is not large enough to easily stir in the broccoli without it spilling out, you can combine the two in a separate bowl, then transfer the mixture back into the skillet.)
• Sprinkle the Panko mixture evenly over the top of the broccoli. Bake until hot and the topping is crisp and light golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. (Tip: For an even crisper topping, place the skillet under your broiler for a few minutes at the end, watching carefully so that it doesn't burn.) Let stand 5 minutes, then serve.

BAKED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a bowl, mix together the olive oil, brown sugar, lemon juice, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly combined. Add the broccoli florets, and toss until evenly coated with the seasoning. Spread the broccoli florets out onto an baking sheet with a rim.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the broccoli is just browned on the top, 10 to 15 minutes.

BROCCOLI SALAD WITH HAZELNUT ROMESCO

Steps:

• Heat the broiler. Arrange an oven rack in the position closest to flame. Place peppers (cut side down), tomato halves (cut-side up) and garlic on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil until peppers and garlic are slightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn garlic (but do not turn peppers or tomato); broil 1 to 2 minutes longer until garlic is well browned but not burned. Transfer garlic to a large bowl. Continue broiling peppers and tomatoes until both are well charred, 4 to 5 minutes longer. Transfer tomato and peppers to the bowl with the garlic. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let stand until vegetables are cool enough to handle but still warm, then peel peppers and tomatoes.
• In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment, pulse hazelnuts until coarsely ground. Add peppers, tomato, garlic, breadcrumbs, oil, vinegar, pomegranate molasses, paprika and salt. Purée until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings. Scrape romesco into a bowl.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Have ready a large bowl of ice water. Boil broccoli until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to ice water; drain.
• In a large bowl, toss broccoli with enough romesco to coat vegetables well. (Reserve any remaining romesco for dipping or for another use.) Garnish with hazelnuts and serve warm or at room temperature.

BROCCOLI WITH HAZELNUT BUTTER

Steps:

• Finely grind 1/2 cup hazelnuts in processor. Transfer to large bowl. Add butter and mix with fork until well blended. Season butter mixture to taste with salt and pepper. Coarsely chop remaining 1/2 cup hazelnuts; set aside.
• Steam broccoli stems in large pot set over medium heat 3 minutes. Add florets and steam until stems and florets are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes longer. Transfer broccoli to bowl with hazelnut butter. Add reserved 1/2 cup chopped hazelnuts and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

BROCCOLI & CAULIFLOWER CHEESE GALETTE WITH HAZELNUT SPELT PASTRY

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the hazelnuts in a small roasting tin and roast for a few mins until they start to deepen in colour and smell nutty. Tip into a bowl and leave to cool completely, then chill until needed. You could do this step the night before to ensure they're nice and cold.
• Use the same roasting tin to roast the broccoli and cauliflower (without the leaves), tossed in a little oil for 10 mins until starting to soften and char in places. To make the sauce, melt the butter in a pan over a medium heat, then add the flour, crème fraîche, cheese, mustard and some black pepper. Set back over the heat, whisking continuously until the sauce is smooth and thick and the cheese has melted. Cover the surface with cling film (to prevent a skin from forming) and set aside to cool.
• Tip most of the nuts into a food processor, reserving 8-10 for the top. Pulse briefly until finely chopped. Add the flours and ½ tsp salt, and whizz again until combined. Add the butter and continue pulsing until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs, then add the egg and 2-3 tbsp cold water and whizz until the mixture starts to form bigger clumps. Tip onto a work surface and knead briefly to bring the pastry together. Shape into a disc, wrap in cling film and chill for at least 20 mins. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 (if not already on) and line a large baking sheet with parchment.
• When the cheese mixture has cooled, mix in the whole egg. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry to a circle about the thickness of a £1 coin (don't worry if the edges look rustic, this is all a part of its charm). Transfer it to the baking sheet. Spread the cheese mixture over the pastry, leaving a border of about 2cm around the edge. Arrange the veg and leaves on top of the cheese sauce. Roughly chop and scatter over the remaining hazelnuts, then fold the sides of the pastry in to create a nice edge around the tart. Brush with the egg yolk and bake for 45 mins until the pastry is golden and crisp and the filling is bubbling. Eat warm.

BROCCOLI & GREEN BEANS WITH TOASTED HAZELNUT BUTTER

Steps:

• Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Add the beans and simmer for 1 min, add the broccoli and then cook for 3 mins more until tender. Drain.
• Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan and gently toast the hazelnuts until golden brown. Add the butter, let it melt and foam for just a few mins, but don't let it burn, then season well. Tip the drained vegetables into the frying pan and toss in the butter until everything is coated.
