Description
A simple recipe for roasting broccolini with garlic and lemon for a tender-crisp, flavorful side dish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb broccolini, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
- Place the trimmed broccolini on a sheet pan.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the broccolini.
- Add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the broccolini is evenly coated.
- Spread the broccolini in a single layer on the sheet pan.
- Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tips are slightly browned and the stems are tender-crisp.
- Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute butter for olive oil for a richer flavor.
- For extra crispness, you can use the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Broccolini cooks faster than standard broccoli; check for doneness around the 12-minute mark.
