Ingredients:

3, 6-ounce heads (170 g) broccolini, thick bottom ends trimmed away
2 1/2 tablespoons Garlic-Infused Oil, made with olive oil, or purchased equivalent, such as Fody Garlic-Infused Olive Oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (see Tips)
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Preparation:

Position rack in hottest areas of oven. Preheat oven to 425°F/220°C.
Separate the trimmed broccolini heads into smaller florets (see image) and place on rimmed sheet pan. Drizzle with oil and toss to coat evenly. We like to use tongs, or even our hands! Season lightly with salt and pepper and red pepper flakes, if using.
Roast the broccolini for about 12 to 15 minutes or just until tender and beginning to crisp up and brown in spots. Serve immediately with lemon wedges for diners to squeeze on top. Roasted broccolini may also be served at room temperature on a buffet. While it can be refrigerated and reheated, it won’t be the same and that is best reserved for leftovers and your own personal snacking.

Tips

For a simple Roasted Broccolini with Garlic & Lemon dish, without the “spicy”, simply leave out the red pepper flakes.
The servings will end up being about 3 stalks, give or take. Some folks think this is a tease but I figure I would rather be able to have some than none at all, and we find this serving quite satisfying. No deprivation allowed around here!
