Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound broccolini, ends trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Wash and trim the tough, woody ends from the broccolini stalks.
- Place the trimmed broccolini on the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle the broccolini with olive oil. Add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together directly on the sheet pan until the broccolini is evenly coated. Spread the broccolini into a single layer.
- Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the stalks are tender-crisp and the florets have slight charring.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot broccolini. The residual heat will help it melt slightly.
- Drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving.
Notes
- If you like a bit of heat, add 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes along with the salt and pepper before roasting.
- For extra crispy florets, you can place the pan under the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- This simple green vegetable recipe pairs well with chicken, steak, or fish.
