BROCCOLETTE****Oven-Roasted Broccolette

By Unblond1

12/05/15-While this isn't as great as my recipe for braised Broccolette, its a passable substitute, especially for a weeknight when you don't want to be fiddling with frying pans and such.

Ingredients

• 1 package broccolette
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 - 3 cloves thinly sliced garlic
• generous pinch hot pepper flakes
• freshly ground black pepper and Maldon salt to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Cut off and discard the bottom inch of the broccolette stems. If any stems are thicker than a pencil, slit them lengthwise, starting from the bottom and cutting upward for 2 or 3 inches. (This will allow the thicker stems to cook in the same amount of time as the thinner ones.)

Place the broccolette on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and scatter over the garlic and drizzle with the olive oil. Sprinkle with pepper flakes, salt and ground pepper to taste and roast for 30 minutes.
