Spicy Balsamic Broccoli Rabe

By draingal

This sweet-and-spicy side dish gets added flavor from roasting the veggies instead of sautéing them.

Ingredients

• 2 bunch(es) (about 1 1/2 pounds) broccoli rabe
• 3 clove(s) garlic, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoon(s) olive oil
• 1 teaspoon(s) salt
• 1/2 teaspoon(s) freshly ground pepper
• 1 teaspoon(s) red pepper flakes
• 2 tablespoon(s) balsamic vinegar

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Meanwhile, trim the ends from broccoli rabe and thinly slice garlic cloves. In a medium bowl, toss broccoli rabe and garlic with olive oil, salt, and freshly ground pepper.

Place on a large, rimmed baking sheet and roast until crisp-tender and leaves are slightly charred, 8 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle on red pepper flakes and drizzle with balsamic vinegar before serving.
