Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Broccolini
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 Lemon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Rinse the broccolini under cold water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Trim the ends of the broccolini stems and cut any large stems lengthwise so they are similar in thickness.
Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.
In a large bowl, combine broccolini, sliced garlic, and olive oil. Toss until the broccolini is well-coated with oil.
Arrange the broccolini in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Season with ground black pepper and, if desired, a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the broccolini. Cut the remaining half into slices and place them among the broccolini for extra flavor.
Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the broccolini is tender and the edges are slightly charred.
Remove from the oven, adjust the seasoning if necessary, and serve immediately.
