You get tender-crisp broccolini with slightly charred edges using this simple roasting method. This easy broccolini recipe is quick, flavorful, and makes a great healthy vegetable side dish for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound broccolini, trimmed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Wash and thoroughly dry the broccolini. You want the surface dry so it roasts instead of steams.
  3. Place the trimmed broccolini on the prepared sheet pan.
  4. Drizzle the olive oil over the broccolini. Add the minced garlic, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Toss everything together directly on the pan until the broccolini is evenly coated. Spread the broccolini into a single layer.
  5. Roast for 12 to 15 minutes. Check at 12 minutes; you want the stalks tender-crisp and the florets slightly browned or charred.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven. Immediately drizzle with fresh lemon juice.
  7. If you are using Parmesan, sprinkle it over the hot broccolini and toss gently. Serve this simple roasted vegetable immediately.

Notes

  • For a vegan or dairy-free version, skip the Parmesan cheese.
  • If you prefer sautéed broccolini recipe, cook it in a skillet over medium-high heat for 6 to 8 minutes instead of roasting.
  • This recipe works well for weeknight vegetable side preparation; just chop and toss ahead of time.
