Make this quick and flavorful broccolini side dish. Roasting brings out a slight char, and the lemon and garlic create a bright taste. This recipe is ready in 15 minutes and works well for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bunch broccolini, ends trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Arrange the trimmed broccolini in a single layer on a sheet pan.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour the oil mixture over the broccolini on the sheet pan. Toss everything together with your hands until the broccolini is evenly coated.
  4. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes. You want the florets to be slightly browned and the stalks tender-crisp.
  5. Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Immediately drizzle with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with lemon zest, if using.
  6. Transfer the roasted broccolini to a serving dish. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving, if desired.

Notes

  • For a quicker cook time, you can use an air fryer set to 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  • If you prefer a softer texture, you can blanch the broccolini in boiling water for 1 minute before tossing it with the oil and roasting.
  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free and keto friendly.
