How do you make Napini?
Place the whole raab shoots in a bowl, drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper (salt and pepper are optional, but a nice touch). Use your hands to toss the raab so that it is very lightly coated in olive oil. No soggy raab here! Spread the raab out on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for about 7-10 minutes.
