Open in Pepper →Broccolini Cooks Faster Than You Think
Broccolini cooks in the time it takes to get everything else on the table. The stalks stay tender, the florets crisp up at the edges, and a little garlic and olive oil is honestly all it needs.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these when dinner needs one green thing and nobody wants to wash three pans. Most of them go from bunch to plate in about 10 minutes.
Every recipe here puts broccolini to work: Honey Garlic Chicken & Sautéed Broccolini, Garlic Soy Broccolini, Chipotle-Honey Salmon & Broccolini, Orecchiette with Broccolini and Sausage, Beef and Broccolini, and a simple Roasted Broccolini with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Quick Tips
- 1
Trim the tough ends
Cut about 1 inch off the bottom of each stalk. If the stems are thicker than a pencil, split them lengthwise so they cook at the same rate as the florets.
- 2
Get the pan hot first
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high until it shimmers, then add the broccolini in one layer and leave it alone for 2 to 3 minutes to char.
- 3
Add garlic at the end
Stir in minced garlic during the last 30 to 60 seconds. Any earlier and it burns before the stalks are tender.
- 4
Roast at high heat
Spread the bunches on a sheet pan and roast at 425°F for 12 to 15 minutes, turning once, until the tips are browned and crisp.
