SPICY ROASTED BROCCOLINI WITH A HINT OF LIME.

Variety is the spice of life and too often we gravitate to the same veggie side dishes we have made for years. Let’s climb out of the dull side dish routine and jump headlong into some delightfully spicy broccolini roasted with peppers and pepper flakes.

Let’s get one thing on the table. My job here is not to make your dining experience uncomfortable… it is to enhance your table with really tasty recipes. I don’t run one of those crazy shows where people eat ghost peppers for the fun of it. All we want to do is add enough spice to make things interesting. If you want to control the heat, add less pepper flakes. We’ll just call it Less Spicy Roasted Broccolini.

It seems as though broccolini has come into vogue in the last couple years. You should be able to find it in just about any grocery store. I bought these at Trader Joe’s where they are called Baby Broccoli rather than broccolini. Keep in mind that this recipe will work with regular broccoli florets as well!
