Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings

Main

  • 1.5 lbs broccolini, trimmed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, combine the trimmed broccolini, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure the broccolini is evenly coated.

  3. Step 3

    Spread the broccolini in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding the pan; use two sheets if necessary.

  4. Step 4

    Roast for 10-12 minutes. Then, remove the baking sheet from the oven, sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the broccolini, and toss gently.

  5. Step 5

    Return to the oven and roast for another 3-5 minutes, or until the broccolini is tender-crisp and the cheese is lightly golden and melted.

  6. Step 6

    Serve immediately, with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice if desired.

Tips

  • Ensure your broccolini is dry before adding oil and seasonings to get extra crispy results.
  • If you don't have broccolini, regular broccoli florets can be used, though they might need an extra few minutes of roasting time.
