Cuisine: French
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 bunch broccolini, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh tarragon, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- Thoroughly wash the broccolini under cool running water. Pat dry completely with clean paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve better roasting.
- Trim the tough ends of the broccolini stems, removing approximately 1-2 inches from the bottom. Discard the trimmed ends.
- Place the trimmed broccolini on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle evenly with olive oil, then sprinkle generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Toss the broccolini gently to ensure each piece is coated with oil and seasonings. Arrange in a single layer to promote even roasting.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking. Look for slightly crispy edges and a vibrant green color indicating perfect doneness.
- While broccolini roasts, prepare the easy bearnaise sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white wine vinegar, and freshly chopped tarragon until smooth and well combined.
- Remove broccolini from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Let rest for 2-3 minutes.
- Drizzle the prepared bearnaise sauce over the roasted broccolini or serve sauce on the side for dipping.
- Serve immediately while the broccolini is hot and crisp, enjoying the complementary flavors of the roasted vegetable and creamy sauce.
Tips
- Preheat Your Oven: Ensure your oven is fully preheated to 425°F (220°C) before roasting to achieve that perfect crispiness and vibrant color.
- Dry the Broccolini: After washing, make sure to pat the broccolini completely dry. Removing excess moisture helps it roast beautifully without steaming.
- Uniform Coating: When drizzling olive oil and seasoning with salt and pepper, toss the broccolini thoroughly to ensure every piece is evenly coated for consistent flavor and texture.
- Watch the Roast Time: Keep an eye on the broccolini while it roasts. Aim for slightly crispy edges and a bright green color, which usually takes about 12-15 minutes.
- Customize Your Sauce: Feel free to tweak the bearnaise sauce to your taste! Add a squeeze of lemon for extra brightness or a pinch of garlic powder for a flavor boost.
- Serve Hot: This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. Serve immediately after drizzling the sauce to experience the delightful contrast of hot broccolini and cool, creamy sauce.
