Ingredients
- 400 g broccolini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 1 units lemon
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Rinse the broccolini under cold water and pat dry with a clean towel. Trim any tough ends by about 1 inch if necessary.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large bowl, combine the broccolini, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the broccolini is evenly coated.
Transfer the broccolini to a large baking sheet, arranging in a single layer for even roasting.
Slice the lemon in half and squeeze one half over the broccolini. Reserve the other half for later.
Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the broccolini edges are golden brown and tender.
Once roasted, remove from the oven and squeeze the juice from the remaining lemon half over the broccolini.
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle over the top before serving.
Serve immediately as a vitamin-packed side dish and enjoy!
