What is the difference between broccoli and broccolini?

Broccolini is actually a hybrid! It is a cross between broccoli and Chinese broccoli, and has only been around since 1993. Broccolini is my all time favourite vegetable to cook. I am known as a broccoli lover, however, I think broccolini has a much better flavour and texture when roasted compared to broccoli. Smothered in oil and garlic, you can’t go wrong with this oven roasted broccolini!

What is the best way to cook broccolini?

I’m sure there are many people who would argue with me on this fact, but here I go anyways. The best way to cook broccolini, without a doubt, is to roast it with olive oil and garlic.

Sure you can pan fry it; delicious. Steam it; awesome. Barbecue it; excellent choice. But roast it? Perfection.

Easy Tips & Tricks For Cooking Roasted Broccolini

• Roast at 400°F:Broccoli is thin so it cooks quickly. This allows for faster cooking at higher temperatures.A harder vegetable, on the other hand, needs to be cooked for longer in the oven in order to become tender. Therefore, you need to cook it at slightly lower temperatures.
• Do not skimp on the oil.These cute little broccolini leaves can easily burn.Make sure you use enough oil to cover the florets.
• Give Space.The florets may touch slightly, but you should not crowd the pan. Otherwise, the broccolini might steam rather than roast and become soggy.Make sure you have broccolini in a single layer.
• Cut the Sides Down.Flip the broccolini upside down so that any of the cut sides (e.g. if you have very thick broccolini, cut it in half through the stem), touch the pan to maximize caramelized area.
• Final Seasoning.Black pepper and Kosher salt are essential for the best taste in broccolini.
