    Sometimes the best side dish is also the most simple one.

    Roasted broccolini in all it's glory and just a small handful of the best seasonings.

    Truly, dinner doesn't get any easier than some grilled grass-fed steak and a generous side of this beautiful, stupid-easy, delicious, and healthy oven-roasted broccolini.

    Broccolini is not baby broccoli. It is from the same family as broccoli but has smaller, tender florets and longer, thinner stalks. They are perfect for roasting! Broccolini is more milder than broccoli, with a sweet, earthy taste. Unlike broccoli, this relative is best eaten cooked - whether sauteed or roasted.

    We love the addition of butter (continue reading for easy method - no melting required!), red pepper flakes for some heat, freshly minced garlic and coarse salt. This side dish is incredibly easy but amazingly flavorful.

    The butter, red pepper and powdery garlic complement each other so well, you'll be coming for seconds!

    Those browned tops of the broccolini are the best! My trick to getting that gorgeous top is to turn the broiler on low for the last 3 minutes of roasting. You'll get hose golden-brown tops without scorching or overcooking this delicious vegetable.

    Helpful Tips for this Easy Roasted Broccolini Recipe

    • Butter is easier grated when cold. No need to mix the butter into broccolini - let the oven do the job - just be sure to grate the butter over the broccolini evenly.
    • The last 3 minutes of roasting - turn the broiler on low for that golden brown finish, but keep a close eye to make sure it doesn't burn as all ovens behave differently.
    • To reheat, warm a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, place the broccolini in the skillet and brown on both sides until warm throughout.

    Helpful Resources for this Easy Roasted Broccolini Recipe

    • This is the coarse salt I use for most of my recipes, from Bone Broth to roasting vegetables.
    • I purchase red pepper flakes at Costco but if you are an Amazon Subscribe & Save member, this one is a great option for this month's order. 😉
    • The best stainless steel rimmed baking sheet.
    • I have a vast collection of my cast iron skillets, but this extra large one takes the cake. Tip: make sure the skillet is hot before reheating to avoid food sticking to the surface.

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 pound broccolini
    • 4 tablespoons avocado oil
    • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon sea salt
    • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread the cleaned and trimmed 1 pound broccolini evenly on a rimmed baking sheet, then toss with 4 tablespoons avocado oil, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon sea salt, and ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes.
    • Roast the broccoli in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.

    Notes

    Storage: Place any leftover roasted broccolini in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm it in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes or until heated through. To freeze, spread the cooled broccolini on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer to a freezer bag. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat. 
    Helpful Tips:
    1. Make sure to dry the broccolini thoroughly before roasting to ensure it crisps up nicely in the oven. After washing it, I like to dry it thoroughly using a salad spinner or laying it on a kitchen towel.
    2. For an extra crispy texture, try broiling the broccolini towards the end of the roasting time. And make sure you are not overcrowding it on the baking sheet. Spread it out evenly and avoid stacking. 
    3. Broccolini cooks quickly, so be sure to check it around the 10-minute mark to avoid overcooking.
