Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bunch broccolini (baby broccoli)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Wash the broccolini and trim off any tough ends. Pat the vegetable dry with paper towels.
- In a bowl, toss the broccolini with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until everything is evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned broccolini in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Do not overlap the pieces.
- Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, checking at 12 minutes. You want the florets to be slightly browned and the stems tender-crisp.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Immediately drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic before roasting.
- If you prefer a softer texture, add 2-3 minutes to the roasting time.
