Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb broccolini, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. You will need a sheet pan for this oven roasted vegetables recipe.
- Place the trimmed broccolini on the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
- Scatter the minced garlic, salt, and pepper over the broccolini. Toss again to distribute the seasoning.
- Spread the broccolini in a single layer on the sheet pan to promote charring.
- Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, until the stems are tender-crisp and the florets have browned slightly.
- Remove from the oven. Immediately drizzle with fresh lemon juice.
- Toss with Parmesan cheese, if using, before serving this simple vegetable recipe.
Notes
- For extra crispy broccolini, ensure the pieces are not crowded on the sheet pan.
- This recipe works well as a keto friendly side dish broccolini or paleo vegetable recipe.
- If you prefer a sautéed greens method, cook over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes instead of roasting.
