Broccoli steaks are a unique and delicious way to enjoy this versatile vegetable. By slicing the broccoli into 'steaks' and roasting them with a flavorful blend of garlic, chili powder, and olive oil, you can create a satisfying dish that's both nutritious and flavorful. Topped with grated parmesan cheese and crunchy hazelnuts, this recipe is sure to become a new favorite.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut the broccoli into thick slices, approximately 1/2 inch thick from the stem through to the florets to form "steaks." You'll have some smaller pieces and florets that break off; set these aside for another use or include them in the baking.
- In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, and chili powder. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
- Place the broccoli steaks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Brush both sides of each broccoli steak with the olive oil mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Arrange the broccoli steaks on the baking sheet, leaving a little space between each piece.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the broccoli is tender and the edges are crispy and golden brown.
- While the broccoli is roasting, toast the chopped hazelnuts in a small dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes, shaking the pan frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Once the broccoli steaks are done roasting, remove them from the oven.
- Transfer the broccoli steaks to a serving platter.
- Sprinkle the toasted hazelnuts and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the broccoli steaks.
- Serve immediately while hot, either as a side dish or a vegetarian main course.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, firm broccoli for the best results. Look for heads with tight florets and vibrant green color.
- To ensure even cooking, slice the broccoli into steaks of uniform thickness, approximately 1/2 inch thick.
- Roast the broccoli steaks at a high temperature, around 425°F (220°C), to achieve a crispy exterior and tender interior.
- Use parchment paper on your baking sheet to prevent the broccoli from sticking and to make clean-up easier.
- For extra flavor, marinate the broccoli steaks in the olive oil, garlic, and chili powder mixture for 15-30 minutes before roasting.
- Feel free to add other seasonings or herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or lemon zest, to enhance the flavor.
- Toast the hazelnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until they are golden brown to bring out their natural oils and flavor.
- If you prefer a vegan version, you can substitute the parmesan cheese with nutritional yeast or vegan parmesan.
