What is Broccolini?
Broccolini is a leafy vegetable that’s a cross between broccoli and what we call Chinese broccoli. It tastes slightly sweet with a peppery flavor that is complemented so well by the lemon and garlic in this recipe. We often switch between oven-fried broccoli and this delightfully charred broccolini. They’re both super nutritious and always a hit with the kids.

How to Make Roasted Broccolini
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Trim off the ends of the broccolini and pull off any leaves.
- Place the broccolini on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat.
- Cut one lemon in half widthwise and juice one half of the lemon over the broccolini on the sheet pan. Reserve the other half to juice over the broccolini after it is roasted.
- Slice the other lemon into thin slices, discarding the ends.
- Add the minced garlic to the broccolini and toss to coat again.
- Spread the broccolini into a single layer and add the lemon slices amongst them.
- Sprinkle the broccolini and lemon slices generously with salt and pepper.
- Roast the broccolini, tossing a few times, until slightly charred, about 10-15 minutes.
- Transfer to a serving platter and squeeze the remaining lemon half over the top.
- Serve and enjoy!
Storage
Store leftover roasted broccolini in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat on a baking sheet in a 350°F oven until heated, about 5 minutes. Or reheat in a skillet over medium heat on the stove for 3-5 minutes or until warmed through and the edges start to crisp again.
