Ingredients:

  • 1 pound (450g) broccolini, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest (from about 1 lemon)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (from about 1/2 lemon)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Trim any tough ends from the broccolini.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the broccolini with olive oil, minced garlic, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Ensure the broccolini is evenly coated.
  4. Spread the broccolini in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until tender-crisp and slightly browned, flipping halfway through.
  5. Remove from the oven and immediately toss with lemon zest and lemon juice.
  6. Serve immediately. This is how to cook broccolini with the best result.
