What Is The Difference Between Broccoli and Broccolini?
Broccolini is very similar to standard broccoli. It is often referred to as baby broccoli but it is actually a broccoli hybrid that has smaller florets and long, thin stalks. I think it has a milder flavor than broccoli as well.
That is why this Roasted Broccolini Recipe is great because the bright, tangy lemon flavor pairs especially well with the earthy broccolini.
What is the Best Way to Cook Broccolini?
If you like very cooked, soft veggies then you probably want to steam or sauté your broccolini. But, if you like slightly crisp vegetables with some texture, Roasted Broccolini is the way to go.
How do you prepare the broccolini?
Cut the ends off, separate the broccolini that is grouped together and remove the leaves if you prefer. The leaves are edible so that is up to you.
What tools do you need for this Roasted Broccolini Recipe?
You will need a Sharp Knife, Good Cutting Board and a Rimmed Baking Sheet
