Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bunch broccolini (about 1 pound)
- 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, dry ends from the bottom of the stalks. Pat the broccolini dry with paper towels.
- In a medium 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 stalks.
- Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, checking at 12 minutes. You want the florets slightly browned and the stalks tender-crisp.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Immediately drizzle with fresh lemon juice. Toss gently and serve this quick vegetable side immediately.
Notes
- For an air fryer broccolini variation, cook at 380°F for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- If you prefer a sautéed broccolini method, heat the oil and garlic in a skillet over medium heat for 1 minute, add the broccolini, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove lid and cook uncovered for 2 more minutes until lightly browned.
- This recipe is naturally keto side dishes compatible and paleo broccolini friendly.
