Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb broccolini, trimmed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the trimmed broccolini on the prepared baking sheet.

- Roast for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the stems are tender and the tips are slightly crispy.
- Remove from the oven. Immediately drizzle with fresh lemon juice and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and roast for 8-10 minutes.
- If you prefer a vegan option, omit the Parmesan cheese or substitute it with nutritional yeast.
- This side pairs well with grilled chicken, baked fish, or steak.
