Mild Broccolini is a crowd-pleasing vegetable; its longer stems give it a more elegant feel than regular broccoli. If you’re serving a more adventurous bunch, try swapping in broccoli rabe, broccoli’s pleasantly bitter, leafy cousin. Red pepper brings a touch of heat, and lemon zest adds a bright flavor boost. To prep, just trim the bottom inch or so from the stalks. Serve it with our Beef Tenderloin With Madeira-Dijon Sauce, pictured above.
How to Make It
Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss together Broccolini and olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with zest, salt, and red pepper; toss well. Roast at 450°F on top oven rack until slightly crispy and stalks are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven.
