Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bunch broccolini, ends trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Place the trimmed broccolini on the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the broccolini. Add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together with your hands until the broccolini is evenly coated. Spread the broccolini into a single layer on the sheet pan.
- Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the florets are slightly browned and the stems are tender-crisp.
- Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with fresh lemon juice. Serve warm as your easy vegetable side dish.
Notes
- For crispier edges, you can roast at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes.
- If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute half of the olive oil with melted butter.
- This recipe is naturally keto broccolini side and Whole30 compatible if you omit any added salt beyond what is needed for flavor.
