Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bunch broccolini, ends trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- Wash and thoroughly dry the broccolini. Place the trimmed broccolini on the prepared sheet pan.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the oil mixture over the broccolini on the sheet pan. Toss everything together with your hands until the broccolini is evenly coated. Spread the broccolini into a single layer.
- Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the stems are tender-crisp and the florets show slight browning.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Immediately drizzle with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with lemon zest and Parmesan cheese, if using.
- Serve this easy vegetable side dish right away.
Notes
- To get tender-crisp broccolini, avoid overcrowding the sheet pan; use two pans if necessary.
- You can substitute butter for olive oil for a richer flavor, though roasting time may vary slightly.
- This recipe is naturally low-carb and keto friendly.
