Broccolini with Garlic & Lemon
Made Christmas 2024
Quick and easy to make in just 10 minutes.
The flavor is amazing, the perfect side dish.
Ingredients
- 2 bunches broccolini (about 1 pound total)
- 1 Tbls. olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 t. kosher salt
- 1/2 t. red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/2 c. water
- lemon wedges, for serving (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the broccolini under cool water, shake off the excess water and pat dry. Trim about 1/2-inch off the bottom of the broccolini stems.
Heat the oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the broccolini and sauté until the broccolini is bright green and some of the stems and tips of the florets are lightly charred, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Add the sliced garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes, if using. Continue to sauté until the garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the water, cover, and cook until the broccolini is vibrant green and crisp-tender, about 1 to 2 minutes.
Serve immediately, with lemon wedges, if using.
NOTE: You can clean and prep broccolini ahead of time and store in an airtight container (lay paper towel on bottom) in refrigerator.
