Ingredients
- 450 grams broccolini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 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 the broccolini by cutting off any tough ends, then wash and thoroughly dry it using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic cloves, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Step 4
Add the broccolini to the bowl and toss well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated with the oil and seasoning mixture.
Step 5
Arrange the seasoned broccolini in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring the pieces have space in between for even roasting.
Step 6
Roast in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, until the broccolini is tender-crisp and slightly charred on the edges.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving platter, adjusting seasoning with additional lemon juice and salt if desired before serving hot.
