Roasted broccoli rabe with red pepper flakes and orange: a quick weeknight side dish

This roasted broccoli rabe, also known as rapini, is a quick and delicious side dish to change up your weeknight dinners.

Side dishes are always an afterthought for me; they are usually not too inspired, and they tend to be something quick that doesn't require too much thinking or too many dirty dishes.

And to be completely honestly, sometimes I just skip the sides all together.
