Ingredients
- 2 bunches broccolini
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring it reaches the ideal temperature for roasting the broccolini to tender, crispy perfection.
- Prepare Broccolini: Toss the broccolini evenly with olive oil, flaky sea salt, and ground black pepper, coating each stem thoroughly for balanced flavor.
- Arrange and Roast: Spread the seasoned broccolini in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet to promote even roasting without sticking.
- Bake: Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the stems are tender and slightly crispy on top, achieving a delightful texture.
- Add Lemon Juice: After roasting, drizzle freshly squeezed lemon juice over the broccolini for a bright, tangy finish that enhances the overall flavor.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can broil the broccolini for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Adjust seasoning to taste by adding more salt or a pinch of chili flakes for a spicy kick.
- Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
- Can be paired with grilled meats or used as a topping for bowls and salads.
