Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 bunches broccolini, trimmed
1 small clove garlic, thinly sliced
Olive oil
Kosher salt
1 1/2 cups cubed baguette or other crusty bread
2 tablespoons pitted oil- or salt-cured black olives (or other good-quality pitted black olives)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Put the broccolini in a resealable plastic bag and add the garlic, 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Seal the bag and massage the oil and garlic into the broccolini. Pour the broccolini and garlic into a medium baking dish.
Pulse the bread in a food processor until finely chopped. Add the olives, red pepper flakes, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Pulse until the olives are finely chopped and the crumbs well-coated in oil.
Pour the breadcrumb mixture over the broccolini and bake until the broccolini is crisp-tender and the breadcrumbs are golden brown, about 20 minutes.
