1
Wash the Broccolini
Rinse the broccolini thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris.
2
Trim the Stems
Using a sharp knife, trim the ends of the broccolini stems to remove any tough or woody parts.
3
Mince the Garlic
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely to prepare for cooking.
4
Zest the Lemon
Using a grater, zest the lemon to collect the bright yellow outer peel, being careful to avoid the white pith.
5
Juice the Lemon
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice into a small bowl, removing any seeds.

6
Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
7
Sauté Garlic
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant but not browned.
8
Cook the Broccolini
Add the trimmed broccolini to the skillet, tossing it in the garlic oil. Cook for 4-5 minutes until vibrant green and tender-crisp.
9
Season and Finish
Season the broccolini with salt and black pepper. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle lemon zest over the top. Toss to combine.
10
Serve
Transfer the cooked broccolini to a serving dish and enjoy warm as a side dish.
