Method
Broccolini & Seasoning
- 1
Preheat and prepare broccolini
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Rinse 1 lb broccolini and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels. Trim the tough ends (about 1/2 inch) and remove any yellowed leaves; leave small florets whole.

Toss with oil and aromatics
Place the trimmed broccolini in a large bowl. Add 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tsp fine sea salt, 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper, and 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes if using. Toss well so each stalk is evenly coated.

Arrange on baking sheet
Spread the broccolini in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly oiled. Arrange stems in the same direction and avoid overcrowding so they roast rather than steam.

Roast
Roast in the preheated oven on the middle rack for 12–16 minutes, turning once halfway through. Roast until the stems are tender when pierced with a knife and the florets and tips are browned and slightly crisp. Thinner stalks may take 12 minutes; thicker heads up to 16 minutes.

Dress and serve
Remove the broccolini from the oven. Immediately transfer to a serving platter. Zest 1 lemon over the hot vegetable, then squeeze about 1–2 tbsp lemon juice to taste. Sprinkle 2 tbsp grated Parmesan or Pecorino and 2 tbsp toasted sliced almonds or pine nuts if using. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
