White Balsamic Vinegar and Olive Oil Roasted Broccolini with Roasted Garlic cloves

I have tried a lot of different roasted vegetables and thought I would give roasted broccolini and garlic a try. We get our broccolini from Costco because you get a huge bag for about 5 bucks, otherwise broccolini tends to be expensive at the grocery store. The key to this dish is not to over cook the broccolini, it only takes 7 minutes.

Ingredients:

1 lb. broccolini

8 large garlic cloves

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar

Salt and Pepper

Preparation: Roasted Garlic

Remove the peel from each of the garlic cloves. Take a piece of aluminum foil and press it into a small bowl. Add the garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil and a grind of salt and pepper and mix. Fold the edges of the foil over the bowl making a sealed pocket, place on a small baking pan and bake in the oven for 20 minutes and when finished set a side.

Preparation: Broccolini

Trim the broccolini so they're all about the same length. Place the broccolini in a large plastic bowl and add the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Toss the broccolini to distribute the oil and vinegar and add a grind of salt and pepper. Take a large baking pan and line with foil. Place the broccolini on the baking pan and spread out so it's just a single layer. Bake at 350 degrees for 7 minutes.

Place the cooked broccolini on a serving dish and add the roasted garlic on top. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a grind of salt and pepper.
