Roasted Broccolini with Balsamic and Fried Onions Recipe

Roasted Broccolini with Balsamic and Fried Onions

Serves 4 to 6

Broccolini has a milder, sweeter flavor than broccoli. Enjoy it in this elegant, effortless side dish that pairs well with a variety of entrées. Use store-bought fried onions or make your own (see Cook's Tip below).

Ingredients:

  • 2 bunches broccolini (about 1 pound total), ends trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup fried onions or homemade fried shallots
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  2. Place broccolini on a rimmed sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Roast 10 to 15 minutes or until stems are tender and tips begin to char.
  3. In a small pot, bring balsamic vinegar to a simmer. Cook over low heat until reduced to a syrupy consistency, about 5 minutes.
  4. To serve, arrange broccolini on platter. Drizzle with balsamic reduction and top with fried onions.
  5. Cook's Tip:
  6. For homemade fried shallots: In a small pan, slowly heat 1 cup neutral oil and 1/2 cup thinly sliced shallots together over medium-low heat. Stir gently from time to time. Remove shallot slices with a slotted spoon once they are golden (about 5 to 8 minutes) and allow to drain and cool on a plate lined with paper towels. Immediately sprinkle with salt. The shallots will become crisper as they cool.
