Sweet and Spicy Roasted Broccolini Recipe + VIDEO
Description
The recipe uses fresh broccolini trimmed and halved to even sizes, then roasting at 425°F for about 10 minutes on a nonstick sheet to crisp the stalks and florets while preserving tenderness. Salt is sprinkled before roasting to draw out moisture and enhance flavor.
A glaze composed of sweet chili sauce, sesame oil, and garlic powder is mixed separately and brushed over the broccolini immediately after removing the pan from the oven. This approach prevents sogginess and keeps the vegetable crisp. The glaze imparts a balance of sweet, mildly spicy, and nutty sesame flavors coating the broccolini.
Serve the broccolini warm as an appetizer or side vegetable. It complements grilled meats, rice, or noodle dishes, bringing a tangy, spicy element to a meal.
For best texture, enjoy the broccolini soon after roasting. Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 4-5 days but may become soft. Reheat briefly in a skillet or air fryer to regain some crispness, or use cold in salads.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch broccolini about ¾ pound
- ¼ cup sweet chili sauce Asian style
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 pinch salt
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Set out a large rimmed baking sheet. Then spray the baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
- Trim the rough ends of the broccolini stems just a little. Cut the largest broccolini stems in half lengthwise to match the smaller pieces.
- Lay the broccolini out in a single layer on the baking sheet and sprinkle lightly with salt.
- Roast in the oven for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, set out a small bowl. Whisk together the sweet chili sauce, sesame oil, and garlic powder.
- Once the roasted broccolini comes out of the oven, brush the pieces with sweet chili glaze. Serve warm.
Notes
- Do not apply the glaze before roasting, as it will make the broccolini soggy.
- Best consumed soon after roasting to enjoy optimal texture and flavor.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days; they soften but can be eaten cold in salads or quickly reheated on the stovetop or in an air fryer.
