Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broccolini

    Rinse the broccolini under cold water and trim off any tough ends. If the stems are thick, you can slice them in half lengthwise to ensure even cooking.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Broccolini

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the broccolini and a pinch of salt, and cook for about 5-7 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Add Chili Crisp

    Once the broccolini is cooked, drizzle the chili crisp over the top and toss to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat the chili crisp through.

  4. 4

    Finish and Serve

    Remove from heat and drizzle with lemon juice before serving. Enjoy warm as a side dish or over rice.
