Ingredients

• 500 grams Broccolini
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 medium Lemon
• 50 grams Chickpea flour
• 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Trim about 1 inch from the ends of the broccolini stems and wash them thoroughly. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3

Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them.

Step 4

Zest the lemon first and then cut it in half to juice it. Reserve the zest and juice separately.

Step 5

In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until a smooth mixture forms.

Step 6

Add the broccolini to the bowl and toss until well coated with the garlic and lemon mixture.

Step 7

Spread the broccolini evenly on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they're not crowded for even roasting.

Step 8

Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the broccolini is tender and slightly charred.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle lemon zest over the broccolini while still hot.

Step 10

Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy immediately as a nutritious side dish.
