Name: Roasted Broccoli Rabe
Total time: 20 min
Ingredients: 1 pound broccoli rabe, trimmed of any tough, fibrous stems (tender ones are fine); 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 2 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed; Pinch red pepper flakes

If you’ve never roasted broccoli rabe, this recipe will be a revelation. The high heat renders the stems and florets tender while the leaves crisp around the edges, like kale chips but with a spicy broccoli bite. Make sure not to crowd the pan or everything will steam rather than roast. This recipe will also work with regular broccoli. Cut the head up into bite-sized pieces and add 5 to 10 minutes to the cooking time.
