# What You’ll Need to Cook:
→ Main
01 -
450 g broccolini, ends trimmed
02 -
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
03 -
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
04 -
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
05 -
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
→ Finishing
06 -
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
07 -
Zest and juice of 1/2 lemon
08 -
30 g freshly grated Parmesan cheese
# Steps to Prepare:
01 -
Preheat oven to 220°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
Arrange broccolini in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and toss to coat thoroughly. Sprinkle with kosher salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
03 -
Roast for 10–15 minutes, flipping the broccolini halfway through, until tender with lightly browned, crispy tips.
04 -
While roasting, whisk together remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a small bowl.
05 -
Remove broccolini from oven. Drizzle immediately with the lemon-garlic mixture and toss to evenly coat.
06 -
Transfer broccolini to a serving platter. Top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and serve hot.
# Extra Cooking Tips:
01 -
Cut any thick broccolini stalks in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking.
02 -
Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; use two sheets if necessary for proper roasting.
03 -
Roasting at a high temperature ensures tender stems and crisp, lightly charred florets.
