Yes, you can use plain rye or pumpernickel bread instead of pumpernickel rye bread. However, keep in mind that the flavor and texture of the sandwich may be different.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
You can prepare the Russian dressing and cook the corned beef in advance, but it’s best to assemble and grill the sandwiches right before serving to ensure they are hot and crispy.

Can I substitute the corned beef with another type of meat?
You can use pastrami or turkey instead of corned beef for a different twist on the classic Reuben sandwich.

Can I omit the sauerkraut?
If you’re not a fan of sauerkraut, you can omit it from the recipe. However, keep in mind that it is a key ingredient that adds tanginess and texture to the sandwich.

Easy and Flavorful Sheet Pan Side Dish !!

Welcome O! Chefs, to where the recipes are hot and the tips are fresh! Are you looking for a simple yet flavorful way to cook greens? Look no further than our Lemon Roasted Broccolini recipe! This refreshing yet crunchy side dish is packed with tangy flavors that pair perfectly with your favorite protein or other veggies. In just 20 minutes, you can have a delicious and healthy side dish ready to serve!

Easy Lemon Roasted Broccolini

To make this recipe, we’re using broccolini, but regular broccoli, green beans, asparagus, or cauliflower can also be used. The key is to use fresh veggies that can retain their crunchiness after spending time in the oven. Sheet pan cooking is the secret to this recipe’s simplicity. By using only one tray, you can quickly bake everything and have very little to clean up after.

Our Lemon Roasted Broccolini recipe combines the tanginess of lemon, the earthiness of garlic, and the cheesiness of parmesan to create a delicious and unique flavor. While you may be tempted to add more cheese, we’ve found that using just enough parmesan provides the perfect cheesy flavor that complements the other ingredients. Bread crumbs are also sprinkled over the top to keep everything crispy without overcooking the broccolini.

This recipe serves 4 and takes only 5 minutes of prep time and 15 minutes of cook time. It’s vegetarian and may contain allergens such as citrus and nuts. Now, let’s get cooking!

Ingredients:

  • 2 bunches of broccolini (or 2 florets of broccoli)
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Juice of 1 lemon (4 tablespoons)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons onion flakes
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1/2 cup crushed almonds
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
  • Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Garnish: lemon wedges

How to make Broccolini:

Easy and Flavorful Sheet Pan
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and onion flakes. Stir the ingredients thoroughly.
  3. Trim the ends of the broccolini (leaving less than an inch) and add them to the mixing bowl. Toss the broccolini florets with the lemon mixture until they are well coated.
  4. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and place the broccolini onto it. Pour any remaining sauce over the broccolini.
  5. Sprinkle the crushed almonds on top of the broccolini. Then, cover with parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper.
  6. Place the sheet pan into the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the broccolini florets start to crisp up.
  7. Once done, remove the sheet pan from the oven and place the roasted broccolini into a serving dish. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve hot with the protein of your choice.

Want to make this recipe even better? Here are some tips:

O! Tips

* Experiment with different types of cheese, such as mozzarella, cheddar, or jack, to add your personal twist to the recipe.
* Add more garlic if you want a stronger flavor.
* Serve the dish with a side of quinoa or brown rice for a complete meal.
* When selecting your broccolini, ensure that the stalks are a vibrant green color and firm to the touch. Avoid any bunches with limp, yellowing or browned leaves, as they will not have the same flavor or texture when cooked.
* If you don’t have broccolini on hand, you can easily substitute it with regular broccoli florets, green beans, asparagus or cauliflower. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
* For an extra kick of flavor, try adding some red pepper flakes to the lemon mixture before tossing it with the broccolini.
* If you want to make this dish a little heartier, you can add some cooked quinoa, brown rice, or roasted chickpeas to the pan before baking. This will give you a more filling meal and add some extra protein to the dish.
* To make this recipe nut-free, you can substitute the crushed almonds with panko breadcrumbs, or omit them entirely.
* To make this recipe vegan, simply omit the parmesan cheese or replace it with a vegan alternative.

Easy Pretzels

When I was a kid, I used to go to baseball games with my dad and I loved the big hot pretzels he would buy for me in the stands. Since we don’t go to the ballpark as often anymore, here’s a recipe to make your own pretzels at home. Serve them the old-fashioned way, with yellow mustard and… game on!

15 Servings

Ingredients

  • 15 mL (1 tbsp.) active dry yeast
  • 1 ⅓ cup (325 mL) warm water
  • 675 to 750 mL (2 ¾ to 3 cups) all-purpose flour
  • 15 mL (1 tbsp.) sugar
  • 5 mL (1 tsp.) salt
  • 1 egg beaten with 15 mL (1 tbsp.) water, for gilding
  • Coarse salt, for decoration

HOW TO

Easy Pretzels

Place one rack on the top third of the oven and another on the bottom third.

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, stir yeast into warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes or until foamy.

Pour 675 mL (2 ¾ cups) of flour, sugar and salt into a large bowl. Add the yeast mixture and work with your hands until a dough forms, adding a little flour if necessary.

Flour a work surface and knead the dough for 2 to 3 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 38 cm (15 in.) long cylinder. Form a pretzel knot, pressing down on the ends to seal. (You can also just make pretzel sticks.)

Brush each pretzel with beaten egg for browning and sprinkle with coarse salt to taste.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, rotating and changing racks halfway through baking, or until golden brown. Serve hot with mustard, if desired.
