Roasted Roman-Style Romanesco Recipe

Ingredients

2 drizzles olive oil

divided

or as needed

2 heads Romanesco

leaves and stems removed

3 oil-packed anchovy fillets

3 tablespoons olive oil

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 lemon

juiced

¼ cup plain dry bread crumbs

½ cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

divided

1 lemon

cut into wedges

Side Dish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Drizzle olive oil into a roasting pan or baking dish.

Step 2

Cut Romanesco into quarters being sure to cut directly through the thick center core so that they stay together when roasted. Set aside until needed.

Step 3

Add anchovies and 3 tablespoons olive oil to a large mixing bowl and use the back of a fork to mash the anchovies into a paste. Add red pepper flakes and lemon juice and stir with a fork to combine.

Step 4

Toss Romanesco in the dressing until the pieces are thoroughly coated. Sprinkle with bread crumbs and 1/2 of the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and toss until evenly coated.

Step 5

Transfer Romanesco into the prepared pan cut side-down. Scrape all cheese and crumbs from the mixing bowl and scatter over the top. Grate the remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano to cover the tops and lightly drizzle with olive oil.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is browned and the Romanesco is tender as tested with the tip of a knife in the cores about 20 minutes. Serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges.
