Broccolini, with its longer stems, is perfect for grilling. If the stems are tough, blanch them first; if tender, grill directly. Season generously with red wine vinegar, garlic, and red pepper flakes, adjusting to taste.

Ingredients

  • 3 bunches Broccolini
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. If the Broccolini stems are thicker than 3/4 in, prepare an ice-water bath by filling a large bowl with cold water and ice. Blanch the Broccolini in lightly salted boiling water for about 15 seconds and plunge them into the ice-water bath to stop the cooking. (If your Broccolini stems are not thick, skip this step.)
  2. Preheat your oven to 450°F
  3. In a medium bowl, toss the Broccolini with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Spread the Broccolini on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in the oven until they start to crisp and turn brown, about 8-10 minutes. Flip the Broccolini and roast on the other side for an additional 5-7 minutes until well seared.
  5. While the Broccolini is roasting, finely chop the garlic cloves.
  6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, add the chopped garlic, red pepper flakes, and vinegar to the Broccolini, and toss well. Return to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the garlic to cook through and become fragrant.
  7. Transfer to a serving platter. Serve hot or at room temperature.
