Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 12 ounces broccolini
- 1/2 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and position the oven rack in the middle. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper to prepare for roasting.
- Prepare Broccolini: Trim any dry or tough ends from the broccolini stalks if needed. Arrange the broccolini in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar evenly over the broccolini. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently toss with your hands to ensure all stems are coated well.
- Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle the finely grated parmesan cheese over the broccolini, making sure it is evenly distributed for maximum flavor.
- Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 15 minutes, or until the broccolini is tender-crisp and the cheese has melted and begun to brown lightly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot, enjoying the deliciously tangy and cheesy roasted broccolini.
Notes
- You can substitute parmesan with pecorino romano for a sharper flavor.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to your taste preference.
- For extra crispiness, broil for the last 1-2 minutes but watch closely to avoid burning.
- Serve as a side with grilled meats, pastas, or as a healthy snack.
