Ingredients
- 3 bunches broccolini
- Olive oil
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
1. Heat the oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the broccolini
Trim off the bottom portion of the stems to remove any tough ends. If some stalks are noticeably thicker, slice them lengthwise so they cook evenly.
3. Season
Arrange the broccolini across two sheet pans, keeping them in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss gently to coat.
4. Roast
Place in the oven and roast for about 15 minutes, until the broccolini is tender with lightly crisped tips.
5. Finish and serve
Remove from the oven, add a light pinch of salt if desired, and serve immediately while warm.
