Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb broccolini, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- Place the trimmed broccolini on the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle the broccolini with olive oil. Add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together directly on the sheet pan until the broccolini is evenly coated.
- Spread the broccolini into a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Roast for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the stems are tender-crisp and the florets show slight charring.
- Remove the pan from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot broccolini.
- Toss gently to coat. If you want extra brightness, drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving.
Notes
- For crispier florets, you can briefly place the baking sheet under the broiler for the last 1-2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
- If you do not have fresh Parmesan, use pre-grated, but fresh grating provides better melting and flavor.
- This side dish pairs well with steak, chicken, or fish.
