Roasted Broccolini
Elevate your meal with this super simple roasted broccolini side dish!
Despite sometimes being referred to as 'baby broccoli', broccolini is a hybrid between broccoli and Chinese broccoli (gai lan). It's a brassica vegetable that is sweet & tender.
Broccolini is 4X higher in vitamin A than broccoli!
"It roasts up in just minutes, which makes it a perfect side dish for weeknight meals. Omg the crispy florets are my fav part!
Serve this broccolini with my Lentil Bolognese or Tuna & Veggie Casserole to make them complete meals!
Roasted Broccolini
Serves 2-3 as a side dish
What you'll need:
2 bunches broccolini, washed & dried well.
1-2 tbsp grapeseed or avocado oil
Salt & pepper, to taste
1 lemon, juiced
Steps:
Preheat the oven to 425F.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Trim 1 inch off the stems of the broccolini then arrange the broccolini on top of the parchment lined baking sheet. Drizzle 1-2 tbsp of grapeseed oil over the broccolini & season well with salt & pepper. Use your hands to toss the broccolini so it's well coated in the oil. Spread the broccolini on the baking sheet leaving plenty of room between the stems, this will ensure crispiness. If necessary, use a second baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes.
Remove from the oven, squeeze over the juice from 1 lemon & serve!
Enjoy my friends!
