Ingredients

• 12 ounces Broccolini
• 4 Garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 Lemon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Rinse the broccolini under cold water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Step 3

Trim the ends of the broccolini stems and cut any large stems lengthwise so they are similar in thickness.

Step 4

Peel and thinly slice the garlic cloves.

Step 5

In a large bowl, combine broccolini, sliced garlic, and olive oil. Toss until the broccolini is well-coated with oil.

Step 6

Arrange the broccolini in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Step 7

Season with ground black pepper and, if desired, a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.

Step 8

Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the broccolini. Cut the remaining half into slices and place them among the broccolini for extra flavor.

Step 9

Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until the broccolini is tender and the edges are slightly charred.

Step 10

Remove from the oven, adjust the seasoning if necessary, and serve immediately.
