Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound broccolini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 whole lemon, zested and juiced
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Trim any tough ends off the broccolini and cut any thick stalks in half lengthwise to ensure even roasting.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccolini with olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss well to make sure the broccolini are evenly coated.
Spread the broccolini out in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the broccolini is tender and the edges are crisp.
Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with fresh lemon juice.
Transfer the roasted broccolini to a serving platter.
Serve immediately while hot as a delightful side dish.
