ROASTED BROCCOLI RABE
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. Cut the head up into bite-sized pieces and add 5 to 10 minutes to the cooking time.

Tips:

- Prepare the broccoli rabe properly: Trim the tough ends of the broccoli rabe stalks and remove any yellow or wilted leaves. Cut the broccoli rabe into 1-2 inch pieces.
- Roast the peppers ahead of time: Roasting the peppers ahead of time will save you time and effort when you're ready to make the dish. You can roast the peppers up to 2 days in advance.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality oil. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that has a fruity, peppery flavor.
- Don't overcook the broccoli rabe: Broccoli rabe is best when it's cooked just until tender. Overcooked broccoli rabe will be mushy and lose its flavor.
