Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb broccolini, trimmed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the trimmed broccolini on the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the broccolini. Add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the broccolini is evenly coated.
- Spread the broccolini in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Roast for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the tips are slightly charred and the stems are crisp-tender.
- Remove from the oven. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- For extra charring, you can place the baking sheet in the oven while it preheats.
- If you prefer a softer texture, toss the broccolini with the oil and seasonings and sauté in a skillet over medium-high heat for 6 to 8 minutes instead of roasting.
- Use fresh lemon zest along with the juice for a stronger citrus flavor.
