SHEET-PAN BAKED FETA WITH BROCCOLINI, TOMATOES AND LEMON



Sheet-Pan Baked Feta With Broccolini, Tomatoes and Lemon image

When baked, feta gains an almost creamy texture, similar to goat cheese but with feta's characteristic tang. In this easy vegetarian sheet-pan dinner, broccolini (or broccoli), grape tomatoes and lemon slices roast alongside the feta until the broccolini crisp, the tomatoes burst and the lemon rinds soften. (Remember, broccolini has a tender, delicious stalk so only the bottom 1/2-inch needs to be trimmed.) Serve this dish over a pile of orzo for a complete meal. If you like, cut the broccolini, feta and lemon into bite-size pieces and toss with the orzo.

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 bunch broccolini, ends trimmed, thick stalks split lengthwise, or broccoli, stalks trimmed and cut into bite-size pieces
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved (about 2 cups)
1 small red onion, peeled, quartered and cut into 2-inch wedges
1 lemon, 1/2 cut into thin rounds and the remaining 1/2 left intact, for serving
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for serving
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 (6- to 8-ounce) blocks feta, cut into 1-inch slices
Cooked orzo or farro, for serving
1/2 cup fresh basil or cilantro leaves and fine stems, roughly chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees with a rack set in the lower third. On a sheet pan, combine the broccolini, tomatoes, onion and lemon slices with the olive oil and toss. Add cumin and red-pepper flakes, season with salt and pepper, and toss again until evenly coated. Nestle the feta slices into the vegetables. (It's OK if they break apart a little.)
  • Roast 15 to 20 minutes, stirring halfway through but leaving the feta in place, until the broccolini is charred at the tips, the stems are easily pierced with a fork and the tomato skins start to blister and break down.
  • Serve over orzo or farro. Drizzle with olive oil and serve with the remaining lemon half for squeezing. Top with fresh herbs, if using.

SHEET PAN BAKED FETA WITH SUMMER VEGETABLES



Sheet Pan Baked Feta with Summer Vegetables image

Think of this recipe as summer on a sheet pan. The warm grilled vegetables and bulgur wilt the escarole just enough to soften its flavor and texture. The balsamic reduction adds a final note of sweetness. If you are in a rush, you can use purchased balsamic reduction, but making your own takes only a few minutes. It's worth cooking up a big batch to keep on hand for drizzling on roasted or grilled vegetables, poultry, pork and fish fillets.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 sprig fresh rosemary plus 2 tablespoons leaves
1 tablespoon honey
Kernels from 4 ears sweet corn
8 baby bell peppers, stemmed, halved and seeded
1 medium zucchini (about 8 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch chunks
6 scallions, trimmed and cut into 2-inch lengths
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Kosher salt
4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
12 ounces feta, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slabs
1 cup fine bulgur
8 cups torn inner escarole leaves or baby spinach

Steps:

  • Place a rimmed baking sheet on the lower rack of the oven. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Combine the vinegar, rosemary sprig and honey in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer until thick and syrupy and reduced to about 2 tablespoons, about 2 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly. Remove and discard the rosemary sprig.
  • Carefully remove the hot baking sheet from the oven. Scatter the corn, peppers, zucchini and scallions on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with the red pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon salt. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil and toss. Nestle the slabs of feta in among the vegetables. Roast until the vegetables are tender and the feta is warmed through and softened, about 15 minutes.
  • While the feta and vegetables roast, combine 1 cup water, 1 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and stir in the bulgur. Remove from the heat and cover. Let sit for 8 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
  • Once the vegetables are tender, turn on the broiler and move the baking sheet to the top rack of the oven. Broil until the cheese and vegetables are browned in places, about 2 minutes.
  • To serve, divide the escarole among 4 shallow bowls. Top with the warm bulgur, vegetables and feta. Drizzle with the balsamic reduction and serve.

ROASTED BROCCOLINI AND LEMON WITH PARMESAN



Roasted Broccolini and Lemon With Parmesan image

Dumping cheese onto something, roasting it and calling it genius isn't the most original thought, but it's worth mentioning how wonderful this recipe is. Maybe it's the caramelized, jammy slices of lemon or maybe it's the almost burnt, crisp, frilly ends of tender broccolini. Whatever it is, a version of this is worthy of every dinner party. While there is something special about the broccolini here (nothing compares to the tender stalks and those wispy ends), this technique also works with root vegetables like carrots, potatoes and parsnips, as well as other brassicas like cauliflower and brussels sprouts. (This recipe is adapted from "Dining In: Highly Cookable Recipes" by Alison Roman.)

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lemon, halved crosswise, seeds removed
4 garlic cloves, smashed
2 bunches broccolini, ends trimmed (or 1 pound broccoli, thinly sliced lengthwise, stem and all)
3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
½ cup finely grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Thinly slice half the lemon into rounds and set the other half aside. Toss lemon slices, garlic and broccolini with the olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, making sure everything is evenly coated, especially the broccolini tips so they get fried and crisp.
  • Sprinkle with Parmesan and roast until the broccolini is bright green, starting to char and the cheese is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, squeeze the remaining half of the lemon over the top and serve.
