Make this quick and easy broccolini side dish in 15 minutes. You will sauté the broccolini with garlic, butter, and lemon juice for a flavorful, tender-crisp vegetable.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bunch broccolini (about 1 pound)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Wash the broccolini and trim off any tough ends. Cut the stalks into 1-inch pieces, keeping the florets attached.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the broccolini pieces to the skillet. Sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the stems start to turn bright green and become tender-crisp.
  4. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant. Do not let the garlic burn.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Add the butter, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the butter melts and coats the broccolini.
  6. Remove the skillet from the heat. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice and toss once more.
  7. Serve immediately as a quick broccolini side dish.

Notes

  • For roasted broccolini, toss the trimmed broccolini with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on a sheet pan at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes until slightly charred. Add the garlic butter and lemon after roasting.
  • This recipe is naturally low-carb and keto broccolini side friendly.
  • If you prefer a milder flavor, omit the red pepper flakes.
