    Pro tips for making the perfect crispy roasted broccolini.

    I love crispy and slighly charred veggies! I honestly think roasted vegtables that have a little burn to them are BETTER !! Call me crazy.

    Here are my secret hacks to making the best oven baked broccolini that is crispy and tender!

    1. Don’t skip out on the olive oil! This recipe only calls for 1 tablespoon of olive oil! That is basically nothing, but trust me when I say: you don’t want to skip out on it. Roasted dry and oil-less veggies don’t taste good.
    2. Make sure your broccolini is not overlapping. Overcrowded vegetables will NOT get as crispy. Make sure to spread your broccolini out evenly across your baking sheet to ensure maximum tender and crispiness!
    3. Make sure your oven is fully preheated before roasting your broccolini. If you pop your veggies into the oven before it is at 425F, they might over or undercook. Not to mention it could dry them out.
    4. There is no need to turn or mix your broccolini as it roasts. Simply pop your broccolini in the oven after it is prepared and once the timer goes off, it is ready! Letting it roast on one side maximizes the crispness and tenderness.

    How to make crispy roasted lemon parmesan broccolini

    Roasting broccolini is easy; I mean so easy that this recipe is perfect for beginner cooks! All you need is a rimmed baking sheet, salt and pepper, olive oil, and, of course, the broccolini and parmesan. Plus, this recipe only takes 20 from start to finish!

    First, preheat your oven to 425 F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. and brush with some olive oil or spray with cooking spray.

    Next, prepare your broccolini by trimming off the end of the broccolini stems. Make sure to leave the leaves – they are wonderful and super crispy!

    Next, on the lined and greased baking sheet (or in a large bowl), toss the broccolini with olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Spread onto your baking sheet in a single layer (overcrowded vegetables will NOT get as crispy).

    Bake for about 15 – 18 minutes or until broccolini is tender and tips are golden brown and crisp.

    Once ready, remove from the oven and sprinkle the grated parmesan on top. Pop the sheet back into the oven for 1 minute!

    Sprinkle with some sea salt & enjoy immediately.

    How to store extra tender roasted broccolini for meal prep

    Make extra crispy lemon parmesan roasted broccolini? No worries, I love to save my extras in a sealedΒ airtight containerΒ in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days! I recommend reheating in the oven at 350F for 7 – 10 minutes or using a microwave.
