Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Broccolini
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 medium Lemon
- 50 grams Chickpea flour
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Trim about 1 inch from the ends of the broccolini stems and wash them thoroughly. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them.
Zest the lemon first and then cut it in half to juice it. Reserve the zest and juice separately.
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until a smooth mixture forms.
Add the broccolini to the bowl and toss until well coated with the garlic and lemon mixture.
Spread the broccolini evenly on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they're not crowded for even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the broccolini is tender and slightly charred.
Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle lemon zest over the broccolini while still hot.
Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy immediately as a nutritious side dish.
