Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 skin-on chicken drumsticks (about 1 pound)
3/4 pound (about 3 cups) fingerling potatoes, halved lengthwise
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 medium head broccoli, cut into small florets (about 4 cups)
2 tablespoons purchased teriyaki glaze

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the drumsticks on one side of the baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart. Place the potatoes on the other side of the baking sheet, leaving an empty space in the center for the broccoli. Drizzle the potatoes with 1 tablespoon of of the olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper, tossing to evenly coat. Bake until the potatoes begin to soften and the drumsticks begin to cook and caramelize, 20 minutes.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and put the broccoli in the center. Drizzle the broccoli with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper, tossing with tongs to evenly coat. Brush the drumsticks with the teriyaki glaze on all sides.
  • Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast until the broccoli and potatoes are tender and charred in spots and the drumsticks are completely cooked through and read an internal temperature of 160 degrees F, 20 to 25 minutes more. Divide chicken and vegetables between two plates and serve.

CRISPY SHEET-PAN BROCCOLI



Crispy Sheet-Pan Broccoli image

Three heads of broccoli spread across two sheet pans may seem like a lot. But when broccoli is this tender, crispy, and caramelized, it's hard to stop eating it right off the pan.

Categories     Broccoli     Sheet Pan     Olive Oil     #cook90     Vegetarian     Vegan     Wheat/Gluten-Free

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 large heads broccoli (3 ½ to 4 pounds total), trimmed, cut into florets with some stalk attached (cut the florets in half if large)
½ cup olive oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Set the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat it to 425°F.
  • Line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide the broccoli between the sheets, arranging them in a single layer. Drizzle each sheet of broccoli with ¼ cup oil, then season each with ½ teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Roast, stirring once and rotating the sheets halfway through, until the broccoli is crispy and charred in spots, 35 to 40 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if desired.

BLISSED-OUT CRISPY CHEESY BROCCOLI GRATIN



Blissed-Out Crispy Cheesy Broccoli Gratin image

Limited surface area. This is the problem with a broccoli gratin made in a casserole-style baking dish, meaning the ratio of crispy-cheesy-crumb-y topping to soft, tender broccoli is just way under optimal balance. With a sheet pan, however, every single morsel of broccoli gets an ample coating of crunch. You know what else is awesome? With a preheated sheet pan (see note), the time it takes to roast the broccoli is minimal-I'm talking 15 minutes, tops, for caramelized edges and florets. Meaning you can hit broccoli bliss in under 20 minutes. Are you in?

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 pounds broccoli florets (I like leaving about 1 inch of the stem attached)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup panko bread crumbs
3/4 cup grated Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup finely grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Adjust one oven rack to the upper-middle position and another rack to the position. Place a rimmed sheet pan on the middle rack and preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Toss the broccoli florets with the olive oil and salt in a medium-size bowl. Turn the broccoli out onto the hot sheet pan (it should sizzle!) and roast until the bottom of the florets are nicely browned, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the butter and garlic in a ramekin and place it in the oven until the butter melts, 5 minutes. (Alternatively, combine them in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high power in 15-second increments, swirling between each, until the butter melts, 45 seconds to 1 minute.)
  • Place the bread crumbs in a medium-size bowl, add the butter-garlic mixture, and toss with a fork. Add the Cheddar and Parmigiano Reggiano cheeses and toss to combine.
  • Remove the sheet pan from the oven and sprinkle the broccoli with the cheesy bread crumb mixture. Turn the broiler to high and place the sheet pan on the upper rack. Broil until the cheese is melted and browned, 1 to 2 minutes (watch the bread crumbs closely as broiler intensities vary and you don't want them to burn). Remove from the oven, transfer to a platter-making sure to scrape up all of the crispy, crunchy cheesy bits-and serve.

SHEET-PAN SPICY ROASTED BROCCOLI PASTA



Sheet-Pan Spicy Roasted Broccoli Pasta image

Think of this as the sheet-pan version of a classic, cheese-covered pasta bake. It has all the elements of the usual casserole - the pasta and vegetables tossed with ricotta and topped with Parmesan-dusted bread crumbs. But because all the ingredients are spread out on a sheet pan instead of being piled into a baking dish, everything browns, which in turn means more crunch and crisp edges. First, the broccoli is roasted until it softens and browns. Then, the other ingredients are spooned on top, and everything is quickly baked, making for a speedy, vegetarian weeknight meal. It's worth seeking out really good ricotta here. With so few ingredients, every one makes a difference.

CRISPY SHEET-PAN NOODLES WITH GLAZED TOFU



Crispy Sheet-Pan Noodles With Glazed Tofu image

Contrasting textures are a signature characteristic of Cantonese chow mein, in which crispy fried strands tangle with tender noodles. Here, that is achieved with the help of a sheet pan and an intensely hot oven. To ensure optimal crunch, start with the pan on the bottom rack to crisp the underside of the noodles, then move it up to the highest to encourage crackly noodles on top, too. Instant ramen noodles are the perfect choice for this recipe because they crisp up flawlessly; just soak them in boiling hot water to loosen them up before sliding them into the oven. The hoisin-marinated tofu is subtly sweet and carries a lot of the flavor in this noodle dish. Quick cooking baby bok choy adds freshness, but you could also use leftover vegetables or seasonal produce.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 blocks instant ramen noodles (about 9 ounces), flavor packets discarded
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoon neutral oil, such as grapeseed or vegetable
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Kosher salt
1 14-ounce package extra-firm tofu, patted dry and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
3 baby bok choy, trimmed and sliced vertically into 4 pieces
Handful of cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons hoisin
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 garlic clove, grated
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 450 degrees and place one rack on the top and one on the bottom. Fill a kettle or medium pot with water (about 8 cups) and bring to a boil. Place the noodles in a heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Soak for 5 minutes, then drain. Set aside the bowl to use in Step 5.
  • Make the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk to combine the hoisin sauce, sesame oil, maple syrup, garlic and sesame seeds.
  • Place the noodles on a sheet pan. Add the sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of neutral oil, soy sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt. Toss to combine, then spread the noodles out evenly.
  • Dip each tofu slice into the marinade, coating both sides, then add them to the sheet pan, pushing the noodles aside so that the tofu touches the pan and doesn't just sit on top of the noodles. Place on the bottom rack of the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Reserve excess marinade.
  • Place the baby bok choy into the reserved bowl, then add the remaining 1 tablespoon of neutral oil and 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt, and toss to coat.
  • Remove the sheet pan from the oven (the noodles should be crisp on the bottom and around the edges) and add the bok choy to the pan. Return the sheet pan to the top rack of the oven and bake for 4 to 7 minutes until the greens are vibrant with crispy edges, and the top of the noodles are crispy. Drizzle with the remaining marinade, top with cilantro leaves and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right broccoli: For the crispiest results, choose broccoli crowns that are tightly closed and have a deep green color. Avoid crowns with yellow or brown spots, as these are signs of age and will not crisp up as well.
  • Cut the broccoli into even-sized florets: This will help them cook evenly. If the florets are too large, they will take longer to cook and may end up soggy.
  • Toss the broccoli with oil and seasonings: This will help the broccoli to brown and crisp up. You can use any type of oil you like, but olive oil is a good choice. As for seasonings, salt and pepper are a classic, but you can also add other spices and herbs, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Spread the broccoli in a single layer on a baking sheet: This will help the broccoli to cook evenly. If the broccoli is crowded on the baking sheet, it will steam instead of crisp up.
  • Roast the broccoli at a high temperature: This will help the broccoli to brown and crisp up quickly. The ideal roasting temperature for broccoli is 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Roast the broccoli until it is tender-crisp: This will take about 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of the florets. You can check the broccoli for doneness by piercing it with a fork. If the fork goes through easily, the broccoli is done.
  • Serve the broccoli immediately: Roasted broccoli is best served immediately, while it is still hot and crispy. You can enjoy it on its own as a snack or side dish, or you can add it to salads, stir-fries, or other dishes.

Conclusion:

Crispy sheet pan broccoli is a delicious and healthy side dish that is easy to make.
