Ingredients

• 450 grams broccolini
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 large garlic cloves
• 1 medium lemon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Rinse the broccolini under cold water and pat dry. Trim about 1 inch from the ends of the broccolini stalks.

Step 3

Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.

Step 4

Zest the lemon using a fine grater or zester, and then cut the lemon in half to juice it.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, lemon zest, and the juice of half the lemon. Mix well.

Step 6

Add the broccolini to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the mixture.

Step 7

Place the broccolini onto a large baking sheet, making sure it is spread out in a single layer for even roasting.

Step 8

Roast in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the broccolini is tender and slightly crispy on the edges.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and squeeze the remaining half of the lemon over the broccolini, then transfer to a serving platter.

Step 10

Serve warm as a healthy side dish, and enjoy!
