Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams broccolini
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 1 medium lemon
- 0.5 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. Trim about 1 inch from the ends of the broccolini stalks.
Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.
Zest the lemon using a fine grater or zester, and then cut the lemon in half to juice it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, and the juice of half the lemon. Mix well.
Add the broccolini to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the mixture.
Place the broccolini onto a large baking sheet, making sure it is spread out in a single layer for even roasting.
Roast in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the broccolini is tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
Remove from the oven and squeeze the remaining half of the lemon over the broccolini, then transfer to a serving platter.
Serve warm as a healthy side dish, and enjoy!
