Ingredients
- 3 bunches broccolini
- 2 tablespoons good olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 garlic cloves optional
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese optional
- lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Trim a few inches off the ends of the broccolini stems and separate any large stalks into smaller florets
- Place broccolini on a foil lined sheet pan and toss with 2-3 tbsp of good olive oil. If you want to add garlic, cut the root part off of 5-6 cloves of garlic and carefully smash, leaving the skins on. Toss with a little olive oil and place on baking sheet with broccolini.
- Roast for 15-20 minutes until tender crisp. When it comes out of the oven, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and serve with lemon wedges
Notes
Broccolini should be placed in a single layer on a baking sheet, leaving a little space between florets. This helps ensure that they roast and not steam by trapping too much moisture.
