Easy Baked Broccolini

Cooking vegetables in the oven is my favorite way to make them deliciously caramelized and appealing for my family. Most veggies usually take longer, but what I love about roasted broccolini is that it cooks in just 15 minutes.

Believe it or not, my kids enjoy this oh-so-green veggie, so it’s a terrific side that I can pair with rotisserie chicken or baked salmon for a quick weeknight dinner.

How to Roast Broccolini

Prep.
While the oven preheats, line a baking pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Wash the broccolini and trim the bottoms of the stems about ½ inch so that what remains is tender and fresh.
Season.
Combine the olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, salt, and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Add the broccolini to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with the mixture. Squeeze half of a lemon over the broccolini for added flavor.
Bake.
Roast for 15 minutes for crisp-tender broccolini, or a little longer for charred. Remove from the oven and squeeze the remaining lemon juice, if desired.
