Broccoli And Garlic-Ricotta Toasts With Hot Honey
- 1 baguette, sliced 1/2" thick on a diagonal (about 12 slices)
- 6 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 head of broccoli, stem peeled, stem and florets chopped into 1/2" pieces
- 1 head of garlic, cloves separated
- 1 Tbsp. honey
- 1 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
- 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 1/2 cups fresh ricotta
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 400u0b0F. Arrange bread slices in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with 2 Tbsp. oil. Toss on baking sheet to coat, then arrange again in a single layer. Place broccoli and garlic on another rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with remaining 4 Tbsp. oil. Season generously with salt and toss to combine.
- Place broccoli on top rack and bread on bottom rack and roast until bread is golden brown and crisp, 10-12 minutes. Remove bread from oven and continue to roast broccoli and garlic, tossing once, until broccoli is browned all over and garlic is tender, another 15-20 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, whisk honey, vinegar, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl.
- As soon as garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze cloves out of their skins and mash in another small bowl to form a paste. Add ricotta and mix well; season with salt and black pepper.
- Spread ricotta over toasts and top with roasted broccoli. Arrange on a platter and drizzle with honey mixture.
