If you've never roasted broccoli rabe, this recipe will be a revelation. The high heat renders the stems and florets tender while the leaves crisp around the edges, like kale chips but with a spicy broccoli bite. Make sure not to crowd the pan or everything will steam rather than roast. This recipe will also work with regular broccoli.

2 bunches broccoli rabe
3 tablespoons good olive oil
6 large cloves garlic, sliced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Tips:

  • To blanch the broccoli rabe, simply immerse it in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then immediately transfer it to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • If you don't have almonds on hand, you can substitute another nut, such as walnuts or pine nuts.
  • Serve the broccoli rabe immediately after cooking, while it is still hot and crispy.
