Roasted Broccoli Rabe Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Toss broccoli rabe with olive oil, salt and red pepper flakes. Toss garlic cloves into rabe and spread on a sheet pan.
• Roast rabe for about 10 minutes. It's done when the stems are tender and the leaves are crisp at the edges.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt generously. Prepare an ice water bath.
• To clean the broccoli rabe, remove the bottom third of the stem, which is fiberous. Remove the larger leaves, leaving the ones which are smaller at the top attached. Blanch the broccoli rabe in the boiling water for about 1 minute until bright green, then transfer to the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Remove the broccoli rabe to a baking sheet lined with paper towels and dry well.
• Add the olive oil to a large cast-iron or stainless steel frying pan and heat over low heat. Add the chile flakes, anchovies and garlic and saute about 1 minute. Add the broccoli rabe and cook, tossing lightly in the oil to coat, until the broccoli rabe is heated through and tender, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Top with the Pecorino Romano and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle broccoli rabe with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic and pepper flakes. Season with salt. Toss by hand, massaging oil into greens. Spread in a single layer.
• Roast 10 minutes. Remove from oven; toss with sesame oil. Return to oven and cook until just tender and leaves are crisp, about 5 minutes more. Serve warm or at room temperature, atop crostini or as a side dish.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Toss the broccoli rabe, tomatoes and shallots in enough olive oil to thoroughly coat. Sprinkle with some salt and pepper. Spread the vegetables onto 2 large baking sheets (avoid crowding the sheets). Roast until the tomatoes have burst and the broccoli rabe is browned around the edges and cooked through, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a platter or large bowl to serve.

Steps:

• Cut off and discard the tough ends of the broccoli rabe and cut the rest of into 2-inch pieces. Place the broccoli in a colander and rinse. Drain well. Heat the olive oil in a large pot. Add the garlic and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 6 minutes, until golden brown. Remove the garlic with a slotted spoon, and set aside. Add the broccoli to the hot oil. Add the red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper and cook, covered, over medium to low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally with tongs, until the stalks are tender but still al dente. Add the reserved garlic, check the seasonings, and serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss broccoli with 2 tablespoons olive oil, the sesame oil if using, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon chile flakes. In a separate bowl, combine shrimp, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, the orange zest, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/8 teaspoon chile flakes.
• Spread broccoli and shrimp in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast, tossing once or twice halfway through, until shrimp are just opaque and broccoli is tender and golden around the edges, about 10 minutes. Serve with orange wedges.
