Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g broccolini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 whole garlic cloves
- 1 whole lemon
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Rinse the broccolini under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Trim about 1 inch from the bottom of the stems and arrange the broccolini on a baking sheet.
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Zest the lemon and add the zest to the olive oil mixture. Slice the lemon in half and squeeze its juice into the mixture, removing any seeds.
Drizzle the garlic and lemon olive oil mixture over the broccolini and toss everything together until the broccolini is well coated.
Spread the broccolini out in a single layer on the baking sheet for even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the broccolini is tender and slightly charred around the edges.
Remove from the oven and transfer the roasted broccolini to a serving platter.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy it as a light keto-friendly main course.
