Prepare the Vegetables
Wash and trim the broccolini, slice the zucchini into rounds, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Mince the garlic.
Sauté Broccolini
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of EVOO over medium heat. Add the broccolini and sauté for 4-5 minutes until tender. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cook for another 1-2 minutes, then squeeze in the juice of half a lemon. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Grill Zucchini
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of EVOO. Add the zucchini rounds and grill for about 3-4 minutes on each side until tender and lightly charred. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Sauté Cherry Tomatoes
Add the remaining tablespoon of EVOO to the skillet, then toss in the halved cherry tomatoes and the remaining minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes start to blister. Squeeze the remaining lemon juice over the top and season with salt and pepper.
Combine and Serve
In a large serving dish, arrange the sautéed broccolini, grilled zucchini, and blistered cherry tomatoes. Drizzle with additional EVOO if desired and serve warm.
