Roasted Tenderstem Broccoli (Broccolini) is an ideal side dish that takes only a few minutes of preparation time! Delicious hot or cold, this simple dish will be on regular rotation.
300g(10.5 oz) tenderstem broccoli/broccolini - approximately 2 bunches
2tablespoonextra virgin olive oilSee Note 1
2teaspoonlemon juice
sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper - to taste
lemon wedges - to serve (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees C (390 F).
Line two trays with baking paper.
Divide the broccolini between two trays, allowing space between each piece. (See Note 2.)
Drizzle the broccolini with one tablespoon of oil per tray and toss. Season with salt and pepper.
Place the trays in the oven and roast for 13-15 minutes. The tops of the broccolini should be slightly charred, and the stem should be cooked through, but still with a slight bite.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the top and serve with additional lemon wedges.
Notes
In Australia, the tablespoon is 20 ml or 4 teaspoons. In many other countries, the tablespoon is 15 ml or 3 teaspoons. Please adjust your measurement if necessary.
The two baking trays allow us to roast the broccolini evenly. Crowding the broccolini will cause them to steam.
