Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams broccolini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 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 the broccolini by cutting off any tough ends, then wash and thoroughly dry it using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic cloves, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Add the broccolini to the bowl and toss well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Arrange the seasoned broccolini in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the pieces have space in between for even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until the broccolini is tender-crisp and slightly charred on the edges.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving platter, adjusting seasoning with additional lemon juice and salt if desired before serving hot.
