Broccoli Frankentots With Lemon Garlic Mayo Recipes

EASY LEMON AND GARLIC BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Place broccoli florets in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir 2 teaspoons lemon juice into water in a small bowl and pour the mixture into the skillet. Cover and steam until broccoli is bright green and tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
• While broccoli is steaming, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat and stir in garlic and salt; turn heat to low and let the garlic gently fry until golden brown, about 8 minutes. Drain water from cooked broccoli and return to skillet; sprinkle with 2 more teaspoons lemon juice and the butter and garlic mixture. Sprinkle broccoli with black pepper, toss to combine, and season with a bit more pepper if desired.

DEEP-FRIED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Heat about 2 inches of oil in a large pot to 365 degrees F. Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• In a small bowl, stir together the Parmesan, sumac, cayenne and lemon zest.
• Add the garlic to the oil. Fry until light golden, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove to the lined baking sheet to drain. Add half of the broccoli to the oil and fry, turning occasionally, until browned and crispy, about 3 minutes. Remove to the lined baking sheet to drain and season with salt. Repeat with the remaining broccoli.
• Put the broccoli in a serving bowl and toss with the Parmesan mixture. Sprinkle with the fried garlic. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

ROASTED GARLIC LEMON BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, toss broccoli florets with the extra virgin olive oil, sea salt, pepper and garlic. Spread the broccoli out in an even layer on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until florets are tender enough to pierce the stems with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove and transfer to a serving platter. Squeeze lemon juice liberally over the broccoli before serving for a refreshing, tangy finish.

BROCCOLI SLAW

Steps:

• Place the currants in a medium bowl and cover with boiling water. Let sit until soft and plump, about 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Meanwhile, mix the vinegar, honey, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Drizzle in the olive oil, whisking constantly, until emulsified.
• Shred the broccoli florets and stems and red cabbage using the shredding disc of a food processor (see Cook's Note). Add to the bowl with the dressing and fold in the currants, almonds, onions, cilantro, parsley, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with more cilantro and parsley leaves, if desired.

ROASTED POTATOES WITH PAPRIKA MAYO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil (I use about 3 tablespoons salt). Add the potatoes and cook until slightly tender, 6 minutes. Drain and pat dry.
• Scatter the potatoes on a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle with the melted butter and toss to coat using tongs. Roast until dark brown and crispy, 30 to 45 minutes, tossing halfway through.
• Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, paprika, sugar and shallots.
• When the potatoes are done roasting, toss them with half of the paprika mayonnaise (save the rest for dipping or another use). Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. Top with chives and enjoy!
