Oven Roasted Broccolini with Lemon & Parm

Elevate your weeknight meals with this effortlessly delicious Oven Roasted Broccolini. Crisp-tender broccolini stalks are tossed with olive oil, garlic, a squeeze of fresh lemon, and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan, then roasted until perfectly tender with slightly charred edges. It's a simple side that packs a huge flavor punch!

Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings

Main

  • 1.5 lbs broccolini, ends trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. Step 2

    In a large bowl, combine the trimmed broccolini, olive oil, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss well to ensure the broccolini is evenly coated.

  3. Step 3

    Spread the broccolini in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

  4. Step 4

    Roast for 12-15 minutes, or until the broccolini is tender-crisp and lightly browned, with some charred bits. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the stalks.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from the oven, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.

Tips

  • For extra char, you can broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  • If you don't have broccolini, regular broccoli florets will also work; adjust cooking time as needed.
