Roasted Broccoli Florets With Toasted Breadcrumb Gremolata Recipes

PARMESAN-ROASTED BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Cut the broccoli florets from the thick stalks, leaving an inch or two of stalk attached to the florets, discarding the rest of the stalks. Cut the larger pieces through the base of the head with a small knife, pulling the florets apart. You should have about 8 cups of florets. Place the broccoli florets on a sheet pan large enough to hold them in a single layer. Toss the garlic on the broccoli and drizzle with 5 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until crisp-tender and the tips of some of the florets are browned.
• Remove the broccoli from the oven and immediately toss with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, the lemon zest, lemon juice, pine nuts, Parmesan, and basil. Serve hot.

ROASTED BROCCOLINI WITH PANKO GREMOLATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange two racks evenly spaced in the oven.
• Remove and discard the bottom half of the broccoli stems. Cut the remaining stems in half lengthwise up to the florets and pull the florets apart. (Don't cut through the florets!) Continue cutting all the stems and pulling the florets apart - you want to have about two inches of stem with whole florets attached. Place the broccoli on two sheet pans, drizzle with 4 tablespoons of olive oil, sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Toss well, spread in one layer on each pan, and roast for 15 minutes until crisp-tender and the edges are starting to brown, tossing occasionally.
• Meanwhile, in a small (8-inch) saute pan over medium-low heat, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil, add the garlic, and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned. Add the panko, tossing to coat in the oil. Cook over medium-low heat for 3 to 4 minutes, until the panko is golden brown, tossing occasionally. Off the heat, add the pine nuts and lemon zest.
• Place the broccoli on a serving platter, sprinkle with the lemon juice, then the panko mixture, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and toss well. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
