Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Broccolini
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 large, minced Garlic cloves
- 1 small, juiced Lemon
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the broccolini under cold water and trim the ends to remove any tough parts.
In a large pot, bring about an inch of water to a boil, and place a steamer basket inside.
Add the broccolini to the steamer basket, cover, and steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until the broccolini is bright green and tender-crisp.
While the broccolini is steaming, heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the lemon juice.
Once the broccolini is cooked, remove it from the steamer and transfer it to a serving platter.
Drizzle the garlic and lemon olive oil mixture over the steamed broccolini.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately and enjoy this simple, delicious Whole30-compliant side dish!
