Oven Roasted Broccolini

Ingredients

▢ 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (avocado oil or grapeseed oil)
▢ 3 bunches broccolini (aka broccolette)
▢ 2 teaspoon kosher salt (more or less to taste)
▢ 2 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice (to taste)
▢ 2 teaspoon crushed red peppers (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 415 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut lemon into wedges. Set aside.
Wash broccolini and pat dry with paper towel. Trim ends of stems (about 1 to 2 inches) and discard. Drizzle liberally with extra virgin olive oil and toss making sure all florets are coated. Season with kosher salt. Roast for 15 minutes or until florets are slightly charred.
Remove from broccolini from oven. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the top. Garnish with lemon wedges and crushed red peppers (optional)
Serve immediately.

Notes

**Please note: Nutritional values serve as a guide only as values may vary.

Cut about 1 to 2 inches off the ends of each stem and discard (the ends are fibrous and shouldn't be eaten).

Line the broccolini up and cut through as many stems at one time to speed up the process.

Massage the florets and remaining stems really well with with either olive oil, avocado oil or grape-seed oil to prevent the broccolini from becoming dry.

Do not crowd the baking sheet as this will cause your broccolini to steam instead of roasting use 2 baking sheets if needed.

Bake the broccolini at a relatively high temperature.

I roast broccolini at 415 degrees. Although oven temperatures may vary, 415 degrees is the perfect temperature for creating nice crispy brown edges.

Be mindful of the amount of time you're roasting. Do not over-bake the broccolini whereby the florets begin to burn and taste bitter. Bake between 15-20 minutes to get the perfect amount of char. I prefer 20 minutes.
